My Nana

I have the greatest grandmother in the entire world.

Seriously.

This woman is amazing.

We call her Nana. Most people call her Doreen. She raised my father, my aunt, and my uncle to be incredible individuals, practically on her own. My grandfather, for a long time, was not a nice guy. But against his wishes, she took her kids to church, taught them about Jesus, and what really matters in life.

Is she rich? No. But she spends her money on things that matter... things that aren't materialistic. She's anything but lazy. This is a woman who hikes, leads the singles group at her church, goes on photography trips with her sister, sings in the church choir, cooks everything for Christmas, comes to the grandkids' games and plays, and so much more.

She is unstoppable.

If I can be even half the woman she is, half the grandmother she is, half the mother she is, then I will be far better than most women out there.

I am proud and blessed to call her Nana.
