It can be so silly at times. Last night I was picking out what to wear to sleep and chose a shirt that belonged to my late uncle, which I had avoided wearing for the longest time, anyways today my father texted me that it’s actually the anniversary of his passing and I don’t know why but I laughed and it just made me feel like no matter how long he’s been gone he’ll still be with me. Just have to pay attention to the small things :)

a family member recently passed and I found myself perusing through his facebook profile and looking at photos of him. I thought about how some of his features specifically show up on my own face - from the way my eyebrows are arched to the bow of my lips.
Then I saw his funny little posts about the NBA. and I recall all the times I would have to watch these games while he babysat my sister and I. Years down the road, I formed my own appreciation for the sport and understood it mainly because of him.
all that to say, even when the people we love are gone, it’s nice to know that little pieces of them are scattered amongst the lives they’ve touched.

I’ve lost distant family members, patients, friends, etc., but I’ve never lost someone so close to me. I cried over everything and nothing and wished to feel anything but emptiness and loss. I laughed over memories and smiled at the sunset over a lake. I flew to GA just to feel the emptiness in person. Yet…I can’t help but feel happiness for knowing her voice, her love, her joy, her kindness, her unrelenting stubbornness. For seeing where she made her mark and who/where she made it in. Grief is weird and I’ll never not feel that void, but I hope I can grow to live and be comfortable with it.

today is my brother’s 33rd birthday. he passed away in september. i know this seems like a strange thing to recommend, but for me, today has felt good. i think about him every single day but i’ve felt especially connected with him today; i keep seeing pieces of him everywhere (moreso than i usually do). i think grief is long and hard but also beautiful, as it’s a reminder you loved so deeply it cannot be stopped even by the immovable force that is death. i miss him a lot, but i’m continually comforted by the fact that a day will not go by that we don’t talk about him. he will always be alive
everyone here loves him, especially me.

It seems so simple and yet people tend to forget just how important it is to REGULARLY let the people around know how much you care and appreciate them. It can be nice to hear from other people that you care for me or you think I’m pretty or funny, but it means 1000x more coming from you!! Stop being afraid to show you care, it’s never stupid and its always appreciated
