“Besides science fiction, she loved Faulkner and Shakespeare and cacti (there were always several on her windowsill) and Foreigner and Guns N’ Roses….”
Very sweet story. There's something about the particular details you chose to share about your Nannee that reminded me of the complexities and layers of people. Due to circumstances I never had the opportunity to have a relationship with a grandparent. I'm glad your Nannee was there for you. I'm sure you enriched her life as well. And you have honored her with this writing.
Your Nannee sounds like quite a character, certainly her own woman. How fortunate you were to have her as a role model. I imagine its hard to have her gone.
I love that you have her favorite book. What a neat relationship you two had. Priceless.
Flipping off the HOA president! Your Nannee is my kind of people.

Your grandma sounded wonderful & I understand why you never read the book of hers you treasure. Beautiful essay!

Love a tribute like this!
I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved Nannee, Connlyn- thank you for sharing her with us. She sounded like a hoot!
