After my eyes stopped watering (I’m not saying crying) I was intermittently able to read a section at a time. I feel so lucky to have known her, even just a little. I think we must have shared some unknown space … colors, beads, bracelets, red. I wish I’d know she made her bracelets. We could have beaded together.

Being able to write such a beautiful piece about your grandmother … I could feel the bond between you from your writing. And I know how special that bond was. I feel like I loved her thru you ❤️

I'm so sorry for your loss, Alexa. 🤍 Your grandmother sounds like a spectacular person, how special you got to write her obituary to commemorate her.

I also completely hear you on the busyness of the season. It seems like there's always a lot to do in such a short span of time. That's exciting you're applying to grad school!! I've been toying with that same thought. What are you thinking of studying?
