Grief is such an emotional roller coaster. The past few days, I’ve found myself closing my eyes whenever I can, just to vividly relive memories of my grandmother. She was truly an amazing woman. And I know everyone says that about their loved ones, but my grandma was special.
Some of my favorite memories are simply being in her company. She had a way of making me laugh no matter what was going on, and she never missed an opportunity to build me up. She always had words of affirmation, reminding me how beautiful I was and making sure I knew how loved I was.
Although she is no longer here physically, the impact she had on me will never leave. I hear her in the way I encourage others, I feel her in the memories that make me smile through tears, and I carry her love with me every single day.
Life is too short not to be present. I’ll be taking some much-needed time off this coming week from baking to spend time with my family, reflect, and appreciate the moments that matter most. I’ll be back soon ♥️
