So heartwarming Savvy! Made me miss my Nani and I'm so glad I'm going to see her soon. I'm pretty sure she will prepare to die in the same was as yours did - with utter practicality and no fuss.

What a Nani you have written! What a memorable character you have painted with your words! The love and joy you feel in this relationship is so evident in this piece. Kebabs and cold drinks - she definitely was a connoiseusse of the good things in life!💖💖💖
