Dear Nana

Me with my sister and Nana on a train caboose in 1989.

Author’s note: My maternal grandmother, Dorothy Elizabeth Pope, died of ovarian cancer in 1997. She never got to see me as an adult, or meet her great-grandchildren. I miss her terribly and every so often something will happen, or I’ll see something that will remind me of her and I’ll think “I wish Nana could be here to see this. She would have liked that.” This is a collection of those thoughts. (Originally posted March 2014, updated September 4, 2018.)
