Jeepin in TN

Missing you something fierce. You truly made me feel proud asking me to take you on your first jeep trip in TN. You had a blast going down the trail and hanging out by the river. You are loved and missed.

Missing you

Every year this day is always the hardest. It's not the day you passed, it's the anniversary of the day after. The day I woke up from dreaming that you were out doing errands and would be back soon... followed by the vivid snap back to reality of what really happened as I woke up staring at the wall feeling more alone than I have ever felt. I hope you're resting well and are happy beyond belief in heaven. I miss you down here. I love you mom.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Mom

I miss you so very much mom. I hope you're having a wonderful birthday in Heaven. Are there Cape Codders where you are? 😂 I keep replaying your last birthday here with me, I'll never forget that front porch conversation. I wish I could call you today. Love you always.

The family came to visit you and nannie today. I can't believe it's almost been 5 years since you passed. I know you would have been such an amazing grandma to my girls. We'll always come to visit you. I love you mom 💛

Happy Mother's Day Momma ❤️

Happy Mother's Day Mom. This year, I got you this medallion for your grave. I love the idea that I can keep your memory living on and anyone who visits you can see those memories too. I think about you every single day. I talk about you to my kids and I make sure to talk about you every Mother's Day too. I miss you.
