CRIED TODAY, THRIVED ANWAY

Every day is getting easier without you. I knew January 21st, 2025, would come at some point but just when I never knew. I guess grieving the independent pre dementia, pre full time care person long ago made it easier in a way though to grieve the finality of this. Though as much as I have grieved things still catch me off guard. It’s the little things like being triggered by a sound or something I’m doing, thinking oh grandma would say this, or I wish I could show her this. The biggest thing though is she will never see or hear of any of my “firsts”, first job, first rental, first overseas trip on my own and even first house I earn. It saddens me to think that some of these things actually will only happen because of her death. Having financial freedom was something I never dreamed of having ever but thanks to her, I hopefully will have the option to buy a flat on my own and pay off my student loan in a few years when her estate is settled. So, while I treasure all the big or small memories we have shared together from movies together, trips away and so much more, the only thing I can say is thank you & I love you.
