the rain this week has forced me to slow down and be still. there’s just something about the rain that is so renewing to my soul. i’m thankful for these days. today i am unwinding from a heavy week at work and losing my grandma yesterday…my last grandparent. the tears have subsided and i’m finding so much joy in my heart remembering the wonderful childhood i had because of the love i had from my grandparents. i always looked forward to visiting them and they always went out of the way for us. they played with us, they laughed and told stories. they were great! it’s clear to see why…
