This November, as I write this, I feel grateful, grateful that Old Nang visited me in my dream. I believe he is now in the Father’s House, healed, happy, and full of joy. I also believe that heaven surely has the best steak imaginable.
In November, as the Church remembers and prays for all the faithful departed, my heart turns once more to my grandmother—the woman who first taught me how to pray, to trust, and to love God with simplicity.
