This video was taken soon after my grandmother Sally McGee’s 100th birthday. It was the first time she had met my son Harvey (named after my grandfather Harvey McGee). Nana passed away today. She was 103. My Mother was named after her. She was an old soul, smart, cutting, and at times a huge pain in the arse. I loved her so much. She was always good to us. I am happy for the memories I have, and I wish I could have been by her side when she left this earth. I am happy for this day because the pain she has gone through the last many years has ended. I don’t know what that “better place” is, but I do know that Nana’s spirit lives on in all of us.
