6 things I learned from my Nana
Yesterday marked 100 years since my Nana was born. It is strange to think she was born an entire century—and how much change (for better and worse) she had seen in the world throughout the 92 years she lived. To those who knew her, Bernice Falvey was a magnificent woman. For those who didn’t, you […]
