Hey Mama! I’ve missed you over the last couple of weeks. I didn’t mean to ghost you, but we lost my sweet Gram suddenly on Sunday, March 16th, and obviously, the podcast was the last thing on my mind.
I’ve spent the last two weeks in a mush of tears, gratitude, anger, frustration, and so much grief. I can’t even begin to share how thankful I am to have had the opportunity to not only get to know my Gram as an adult, but to count her as one of my very best friends.
I told Will just the other day that I love and hate how much every single thing reminds me of her. How she was such a part of our lives that we have memories in every facet of what we do. But how hard it makes it to get away from the truth that I can’t call her and ask if she’s still holding down her chair to make sure it doesn’t get away. I can’t ask her at the last minute to make teacher gifts that I completely forgot about. (She always thought about them before I did!) I can’t hear the latest gossip of what was going on at the senior center and her social life that was more social than mine. 😜
After two years of podcasting, I’d finally convinced her the week before she left this world to come and be a guest on the podcast. You would have loved her. She was honest and hilarious and would have brought so much joy to the show.
So thank you for being patient as I get back in the groove of learning how to do life without my Gram. Thank you to those of you who have prayed for or reached out and checked on me and my family.
After two weeks away, I’m excited to share a fun, special episode with you tomorrow. I promise you won’t want to miss it. I know my Gram would have loved it. ❤️
