Getting through the first major holiday season was far more difficult than I ever imagined. Leaning on my loved ones was my saving grace, and every ounce of joy that was sent my way, I tried my best to absorb and appreciate. 

From family visits, a surprise 1/2 birthday party from my dear friends, to my Mabel girl turning 2, there was happiness to be felt. 

Every message and check in from friends during this season has reminded me that I do not have to face grief alone, and I am loved and surrounded by people who care about me. I am so grateful to receive that kindness and support from my work team as well.🤍 

My greatest gift came from my mother. On Christmas Day my orchid bloomed!! We had bought it together in May and she had joked that she’d be so proud if I could keep it alive until my birthday, which was 2 weeks later. I typically cannot even keep succulents alive, but to great surprise, my orchid is still thriving! Waking up on Christmas morning to a new, bright, bold, pink flower was overwhelming and breathtaking in the best way. And now it has 3 flowers on it with more buds that look like they may open! I believe it is all my mom’s doing and her way of saying Merry Christmas 🌸

In December we did have to say goodbye to Arrow, my beloved nephew pup. I’m grateful to have been raised in a home where animals are not pets, they are family. I have so many beautiful memories and pictures with Arrow Barrow that I cherish, but I wanted to share one of my favorites; Arrow and my mom from last Christmas season 💘 I know in my heart they are together now and guiding us all along down here.

To 2025 we go…💫
