One year ago today the world lost a phenomenal man and that man was my grandfather. He was the absolute best grandfather a girl could ever ask for. He truly never met a stranger and he rarely went places where he didn’t at least see five or usually more  people he knew. He had the best stories especially from when he worked at Avon. He definitely was the type to do anything he could for anybody. I miss his hugs. I miss the way he always smelled so good. He was so incredibly handsome and he had the best sense of humor. He loved to attempt to tell a joke but he always tried his best. I still have the very last Valentine’s Day card he sent me and I will always keep it. Everyone always loved him. He enjoyed tomatoes fresh from the garden and it’s so hard knowing I can’t take him one. It was one of top favorite things to eat. He couldn’t stand macaroni and cheese so I sure enjoyed teasing him about bringing him some. Of course he always politely declined. I have so many amazing stories ...

Today is my 26th birthday. As it got closer to this day I realized I wasn’t exactly in a big celebration mood like I have been in the past due to last year’s terrible situation going on at this time. I have a favorite bakery and had gotten a price quote on a design I wanted but I didn’t end up ordering it. I honestly just wanted to not celebrate. My wonderful mom ended up surprising me with a beautiful cake from my favorite bakery. I put on my favorite floral dress that just makes me channel my inner Carrie Bradshaw. This is my first birthday without my grandfather so it just was hard. My grandmother gave me a beautiful birthday card and it was so hard not to break out into tears when I only seen her name. Every year he would call me and sing happy birthday. The last time that happened was in 2020 but oh what I would do to hear him sing it to me just one more time. As emotional as I am on my birthday this year it turned out to be pretty good. My mom gifted me a really nice towel warmer...
