A few months ago, my nanna was diagonsed with lung cancer and the doctors didn't give her very long to live. A few weeks ago, they discovered that the cancer had spread to her spine and that she also had bone cancer in her 3rd and 5th verberea. My dad rang me tonight to tell me that she passed away.

She was always a strong woman and stubborn in her belief that I would be a proper little girl (despite my protests) and even though I know she's in a better place now and without pain, I'll miss her greatly.
