Today was a good day not a great one, as I’m still sitting with a lot of emotions from the news about my sister yesterday but I’m grateful I was able to get up, get out, and find some light in the day.
I did my makeup (which always helps lift my spirits a bit), ran a few errands, and then spent some time with my daughter and granddaughter. She was so excited about all the Build-A-Bear goodies the Easter Bunny brought her! We hunted for eggs, colored some together, and just enjoyed the little joys that come with these kinds of moments.
She even got a little Easter money, so tomorrow she’s got big plans to go pick out whatever her heart desires can’t wait to see what she chooses.
I also talked to my sister again today. I’m trying to keep that connection strong and make sure she knows she’s supported and loved. My dad has been making trips up to be there too, and I know that means the world to her.
On Tuesday, I’m getting a tattoo in her honor a sunflower she drew herself. It feels like something I need to do. There are a few others I’ve been meaning to get, but haven’t been feeling up to it. This one, though, is important.
Through it all, I’m just feeling incredibly grateful for the family I have. These connections, these memories, these moments—they matter more than anything.
I hope everyone had a beautiful Easter, however you spent it. 💛
With love,
Trish
