Nana went to be with Jesus

My maternal grandmother (our Nana) died Sunday early in the morning. She lived a long life - from the cool climate of New England's historical Quincy, Massachusetts to the place I'm told that all Yankees go to retire - Florida. I can remember when she lived with us for several years back in Braintree, MA while I was in high school. The memories I have of her are good. They are of family. Mom's side of the family are of good Italian stock! I'm not sure if Nana had something to do with my parents' blind date that got them started out on their life-long journey together, but I'm grateful my parent's met. I suppose my children are just as grateful!

So, thanks Nana for being my grandmom. Thanks Lord, for taking her to be with you as you promised.

Nafisa writing her name for the first time!



Over Easter weekend, a Hindu festival - Holi - occurred. It's a holiday that has taken on some secular fun, including dowsing one another with colored water. It's almost impossible to leave the house and not get some color....especially if it's your intent to get others with colors like our kids!
