LETTERS TO NAN

James has always had a special bond with his Nan, from their summers in the garden to their raspberry blowing at the television. When James is offered the opportunity to follow his boyhood dream in Europe, he can't wait to tell her. But she has news for him as well - she's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He's hesitant to leave, but when she hands him a ticket to England, he knows he has to go. He promises to write her every week to help her keep him in his memory. She promises to never forget. Seven years later, James stands at the door of the nursing home, wondering if Nan will be anything like the woman he remembers, and if she'll remember him...
