What began as a stop to drop off the newspaper blossomed into a
very special responsibility that lasted nearly 25 years. I visited
Nana daily since I was five years old; I helped shop for her, took
care of household repairs as I got older, watched out for her, and
just spent time listening to her talk about her life. Over the
years I developed a very special love for Nana, and a great respect
and affection for the elderly. The matriarch of our family, Anne
Gillis could be stubborn, melancholy, and gloomy. She was always
generous, the most honest person I've ever met, religious,
good-natured, and kind. Nana was human and not perfect, but she was
a loving woman who made a profound difference in my life for which
I will always be grateful. After Nana died, I started jotting
memories about her-things I wanted to remember, stories she told,
family facts and trivia, and little anecdotes. I discovered that
after such a difficult personal loss, writing was the best therapy.
I hadn't intended to write a book, but the memories just flooded
into me and I kept writing. Over time, I found that there could be
no better way to mourn Nana, and accept her passing, than by
celebrating her life. While this book chronicles Nana's life and
times before I was born, much of it is devoted to my life
experiences with Nana, such as the unique problems Nana faced as a
landlady, my relationship with Nana over the years, Nana growing
older, and my first year after Nana died. It's a very special
story, and one I would like to share with you.
