I remember going into her room and trying my hardest to cheer her up. Nana was an avid Days of Our Lives fan, so sometimes when I would visit, we would watch her soap together. It had been so funny watching it with her when she had been healthy because she would get so involved with the characters and story line that she used to get mad if anyone dared to interrupt her show. I can't hear what they're saying. Nana also had some really good days while she was in the nursing home.
Some people call it the calm before the storm.
The day before Nana died was one of these days. The day before my Nana died was beautiful. I remember that it was an unusually warm day for late February. She had been in a terrific mood. In fact, she had been in such a good mood that my aunt had been able to convince her to go for a stroll along the grounds and to eat dinner with the rest of the patients.
