The constant reminder that you're not here.


(This was the chair that my grandmother always sat at. I have many of her belongings but this is the one that hits home the most)

Two years ago today my life changed forever. It's amazing how losing a family member can completely change your view on how you are living your life. My beautiful grandma Virginia passed away. She was finally reunited with her husband after so many years. When I think about the love I have for Eric I can't even imagine what my life would be like without him. I would be absolutely devastated.  My grandmother was heart broken after my grandpa pasted away many years ago. She talked about him all the time, and held on to each of his belongings. Even though she is no longer here on earth with us, I like to think of the positive and that she is reunited with the love of her life. 


Ever since that day I have learned to take more time out of my day to notice the little things, smile more, laugh more, love people more, and appreciate everything life has to offer. Take some time today to really breathe life in.
