How to Save a Life

Here is the story of my journey to Florida almost two months after my beloved Nana's death. The purpose of the trip was to spend some time with Poppop and help him sort through Nana's stuff. The findings, memories, atmosphere... it's all so intense. It feels like she should still be right here. But she's not.

And so, we are still honoring her and loving her legacy, the gifts she left us, the love she spent years pouring out to us. Nana sure knew how to save a life.

The sky opened, the thunder rolled…

…as we came into the empty house that she kept so welcoming. Nothing’s different, yet everything in the world is. She’s not here.

And now the sun is trying so hard to shine through the clouds. Try, we must, too.
