Happiest of birthdays to my nephew, Michael - how have 18 years flown by?! #happybirthday #18yearsold #grownassman

because I’m getting old, I’m really interested in plants... particularly ones I can’t kill (most likely). Bonus points that I can drink wine while making them. succa-what? #succulents #thesippingplant #threeeightis38 #family #wonderfulbirthday #riamar

grounding thoughts for my 38th year. #morecalm #lessstress #threeeightis38 #intentions #whateverwillbewillbe

It’s been a year since I lost my Dad. Today is day 364, the year anniversary of the last time I talked to my Dad, before everything would change and he would be gone. It’s been a difficult process, one that I’ve been working through very slowly. Still, I can’t believe it’s already a year. I hate it. At first, it was impossible to mention him – even think about him – without breaking down. Now, I find myself a little bit stronger, though results may vary. Our family has even had little moments where we have been able to laugh about certain memories, and it was so nice in those moments to laugh and appreciate it – to remember him without the tears. I hate the idea that I’m getting used to the fact that he isn’t here anymore. I don’t want to get used to that. And so, the actual year anniversary makes me feel the same way – anything under 365 days wasn’t that long ago… but a whole year. An entire year without him, and so many more ahead. However, I find it both odd and beautiful that gratitude and sadness can sit so closely together. Every time I miss him, I immediately feel so grateful for all the memories of him I have, and for knowing I was his daughter. I choose to celebrate that now as I remember what a wonderful man he was. 🖤
