I am back from PA and what a surreal trip it was. I'm so glad I went since it really helped give me closure although I still keep telling myself that Nana won't be calling me.
Nana kept drawers full of photos and we were all allowed to sort through them and have as many as we wanted. I have sooo many photos of Nana and Grampie, plus a school portrait of me I had never seen. Many photos of my mom as a young girl too that I had never seen just in bags and boxes in drawers. What a treasure!
Also, it was the First time I have taken a "road trip" with my Sister and we enjoyed each others company. It definitely brought us closer together and I'm glad of that because we live a couple of hundred miles apart and haven't been able to spend very much time together since leaving home to raise our own families.
The weather was bitter cold and the day we left to drive home the car was covered in a half-inch of ice with icicles hanging off of it... I had to spend about 20 or so minutes scraping ice off the windows! Very different than anything I have ever experienced as I have lived in Florida practically my whole life and have only been up North in the Summer time. We finally saw the Sun breaking through the clouds when we got half-way through South Carolina.
I read a card that says, "A Sunset on Earth is a Sunrise in Heaven." I am a believer and I know her suffering is ended and now she is rejoicing in the presence of God.

THANK YOU everyone for your thoughtful comments! They really meant a lot to me :)
I could probably go on for days but here is your Second installment of the Heritage Series ;)
