Nana. Remembering. Personal.

“I’m not funny. What I am is brave.” -Lucille Ball.

Unlike Lucille Ball, from I Love Lucy, one of my nana’s favorite shows, my nana did admit she was funny. However, she would say, “I just tell it like it is that’s why you think it’s funny.” And unlike Lucille Ball, she never admitted she was brave, but she was.

She was brave her entire 92 years of life.

For those that knew and loved her you also knew her entire life story. So, I don’t have to prove to you how this little old lady from Albuquerque was brave until the day she left us.
