Probably his grandmother, but sometimes refers to mother.
Comes from nanny.

Will anyone pray with me?

In the US a nanny is usually the servant that takes care of the
children. I thought that it was the same across the pond. There was
a TV show in the 1970's about a British nanny in a US home.

As indicated by others, this is sort of cryptic. But assuming your
nan is a person close to you emotionally, genetically, or however, I
wish her (or, possibly, him) the best. We may have serious
differences in modes of thinking about all sorts of subjects but when
it comes to somebody's health and well-being, all that is meaningless.

If there is a God and if that God is at all reasonable, then He will
accept my most sincere best wishes and hopes as my way of praying.

I'm sorry that your family member is ill. I just lost my father in law a

As you said, "usually". My grandmother was born and raised in Texas,
and when she had grandchildren she named herself "Nanny" for us
grandkids. We never called her anything else. But I agree that's not
the norm.
spintronic
Dear lord, I pray that you keep my loved ones safe.
I know that you will remember them, always.
I know that you are here, and see all things.
And pray that I can take her place, in any way shape or form.
I know that you will love my mother, and take care of her. And I know
I will see her again.
Amen.
All-seeing-I
Amen.

Given your duplicitous history, I see no reason to think that any
relative of yours is unwell. This seems like a ploy to evade the
consequences of your utterly wrong scenarios about probability.
If I am wrong, you have my most sincere best wishes. I hope your nan
comes through OK from whatever is the problem.
As far as praying, if you wish me to do so, I will offer up my
requests to whatever being you specify.

It should read "nan's". He's English (I think), and northern English (I

"Nana" is probably more common than Nanny, but I think both are
understandable.
And good luck to her. I'm against old ladies suffering on principle.

Do not taunt Inanna or she may smite thee.

interesting bit from on of the web nodes...
In the fourth myth, the Descent into the Underworld, the Goddess goes
far beyond the mundane. In all respects she undergoes the ultimate
spiritual initiation, a Descent into Hades. In the process, she lets
go of all those possessions and characteristics which feed the ego,
and ends up hanging on a nail as a rotting corpse in the bowels of the
underworld. But then, after acknowledging her shadow side, she
ascends back to Earth and thereafter acts as the complete, fully-
formed goddess that was always her. Much of the symbolism of her trip
From the Great Above to the Great Below continues to this day in
various initiatory rites of societies and organizations dedicated to
the mysteries of the beyond.
sound familiar?

Of course. But I'll also support science because I think that God
wants us to do as much as we can to help each other, and not always
rely on Him.

Here in Appalachia it is _very_ come for kids to call their
grandmother "nana." When they first go to school, they may not know
the word "grandma," and may mistakenly think it refers to someone
else.
