Your grandmother gave you something so many people spend a lifetime searching for. She made you feel seen, valued, and free to become exactly who you were created to be. What a beautiful legacy to carry forward. 🩷
I loved the distinction between admiring what she did and admiring who she was. That felt like the thread running through the entire essay. It made me think about how the people who shape us most often do it through the way they make us feel, not through grand lessons or advice. Beautifully written.
Thank you so much Amy. Yes that was exactly my grandmother. She did a lot of wonderful things but I think all the gratitude that was expressed to us at her funeral, while a lot of it had to do with actions for other people, was because she made them feel seen and heard and cared for. That's my goal every day, to do that for others. ❤️
What a remarkable woman, gorgeous upbringing, and way to honour it all here. I loved your story telling and really felt like I met your grandmother here. Love the image of you sitting around the table creating and laughing together. What a great way to continue the legacy.
Thank you, Melinda! She was a shining light for all that knew her. I'm blessed to get to share her memory. Although, she would brush off all the credit I gave her for shaping my life. 😊 ❤️
