My MamMam, life dealt us so many different hands, and I feel honored to have spent the last few years sharing silly stories, purging spices that expired decades ago(with your approval!), and loving you. Your smiles and hugs grew stronger and stronger with each visit, and those I will cherish to the end of my days. My smart aleck comments always got a grin, or a side eye! I hope you know how much I love you. Your last few days on this earth brought so much joy and healing. I love you to the moon!!! PS…your squirrels are going crazy!!!! I think that’s Pappy cussing us for feeding them💜💜
