Nancy is 88 years old, and her life has taken her through Alabama, Hawaii, and California. When John, whom she had known for only 6 weeks, proposed to her in a restaurant, she was so shocked that she forgot to say “yes.” Their married life was a happy one. They adopted two sons, who later became the source of deep anguish—one had drug issues, the other had a drinking problem. Nancy outlived her beloved husband and both of her boys. Even so, her faith in God and the relationships she has nurtured over the years, including a lifelong friendship with a Filipino immigrant family, has allowed her to continue looking at life with unwavering positivity and lightheartedness.
