i’ve been quiet on here for a while, and processing a lot. in july i lost my sweet, beautiful, sarcastic, hilarious grama. my best friend, my twin and my second mom. so much of who i am, and how i am, comes from her. the beginning of this month, i lost my grampa (or more lovingly, cramps). he was my rock, my protector, and always my biggest fan. he was stern, yet incredibly gentle exactly when i needed it. now he’s moved on to be with the love of his life; to continue their extraordinary lives elsewhere. the relationship, and amount of time i had with them was truly a gift, and will never feel like enough. the vast void i feel is indescribable, and it’s impossible to comprehend life without them; but i know they’re with me, making sure i cook and take care of business. i love you forever and ever.
