The most amazing woman I know is my nana. She grew up in New York in a time when women were just an ornament meant to be worn by the man in their life. She is a strong-willed and independent woman that married a man who has worshipped the ground she walks on for over 55 years. After 11 births, 9 of which resulted in beautiful children, she went to work when my papa retired so that the family could still survive. She learned to drive at the age of 65 but could cook for an army with only 5 potatoes, 3 steaks, and handful of cheese. She volunteers at her church and helps her grandchildren finish homework assignments. She inspires me every day to be a better person and to be a strong woman. I love her and miss her more than I could possibly say.
