As I sit here thinking about this past year as we are in November now and realizing 2017 is coming to an end. I can't believe all that has happened in just one short year. In so many ways, I am a totally different person because my life has changed so much. At the beginning of this year, I experienced heartache like never before with the loss of my Nana. Now, unfortunately, we had been losing her for quite some time due to dementia, but for my whole life, she was there every single day. Growing up my mom worked so my grandma was the one who would get me ready for school, pick me up and make me dinner. She truly was a second mom. In 2010, after being put on oxygen and suffering from dementia we slowly saw her slip away. We would see glimpses of who she used to be, come through here and there but it got to be very hard for a very long time. My mom (the strongest woman I know) refused to ever put my grandma into a nursing home...
