A tenacious heart
By hissychick | July 13, 2009
Nana made it through her surgery, which involved repair to her tricuspid valve, insertion of a pacemaker and the repair of a hole that was discovered during the course of the operation. Quite a feat for an octogenarian. She will be in an induced coma for the next couple of days to allow for optimal healing.
What I cannot explain is how my hand flew to my neck to touch the key as I was overwhelmed with a sense of peace at the exact time my Nana came out of theatre.
Spooky coincidences aside, I am so unbelievably thrilled to know that my Nana is doing her best to save the last dance for my Pop. I would love nothing more than to see them reach seventy, even eighty years together. Right now anything seems possible and I am drinking up every last drop of delicious hope.

Is all I can say right now.
