My grandmother. It’s been just over a year since she passed away. I miss her deeply. She had a fire to her; strength and courage that I hope I can one day embody. You forget how deeply a single person can impact and reverberate through your life, even after they are gone. To have someone love and show such compassion is a gift and I really cherish the memories I will hold of my grandmother. Losing her was unbelievably hard, but I am grateful she helped shape me into the women I am today.
