        Crying 😭My grandmother passed away on my birthday 6 years ago. I like to think that she directly passed a part of her strength and magic to me as she crossed over. Still, there hasn’t been a day since where I felt whole. This was a beautiful reminder of that love. 💕

        The pain stays forever, but it becomes sweeter. It’s been 21 years since my grandmother passed away and I still remember her every day.

        The world works when there are different kinds of people in it...just be your authentic self and you will find your true path. It sounds like your Oma was trying to tell you that too!

        My grandmother passed away about a year and a half ago, two months after my Dad passed and a week before my mom and I were flying out to see her. Maybe this is the role of grandmothers because she described mine perfectly. I miss her everyday

        That love she knew thru her Oma will sustain her.... In our family, we had great grandma. While I was that 'other sister', Lola knew I needed her as much as if I wasn't the obedient one. She had this most reassuring presence like everything else didn't matter but the heart!!
