Whoever came up with the saying “when it rains, it pours” couldn’t have been any more correct. But after the storm, the sun starts shining again, flowers start blooming, you slowly start healing, and you’ll realize you made it through. You’ve reach the brighter side. But until then, pour yourself a glass of wine and keep your loved ones close. . . . . . . #mentalhealthreels #mentalhealthrecovery #grievingprocess #mentalhealthawareness #livingwithgrief #livingwithdepression #findyourstrength #milspouseblogger #relatablereels #trendingreel #mindsetwork

Oh Nana.. I didn’t want to leave Oklahoma but the one thing I was excited for about moving was the fact that I would now only be one hour away from you and would beable to visit and see you all the time. But this world has a cruel sense of humor and whenever I tried to see you, I was unable to get in because of Covid restrictions😒. Last week I spent all week waiting for it to be Friday. I was planning to drive down to see you and hoped this time I would finally beable to. I woke up Friday morning to the devastating news that you had passed away. I’m so heartbroken. I hadn’t got to see you in years and now that I was finally able to, you were taken from us. I’ll forever cherish all of our phone calls. For the longest time you were the only person I talked to on a regular basis. You were the first person I would call whenever something good or bad happened. I could always count on you for advice or to cheer me on. Years ago, my old roommate and I always had a joke that you were hanging out with us whenever we were doing something fun because everytime we were in the middle of fun plans, I would always get a call from you, everytime. The phone would ring and we would always say “oh there’s Nana joining the party”. I wish all those times you could have physically been in our presence, but I always felt a part of you was with me. I wish, more than anything, that I could of gotten to see you since moving to Cali. We shared the same love for Andrea Bocelli and just as you did, I’ll play his music every Sunday morning and know that you’re with me. Whenever I hear his music, or am cooking Italian food, or wear a piece of your jewerly, or hear someone call me by my first name, I’ll know a part of you will be there, always in my heart, and always by my side. I miss you so much and it kills me I didn’t get to see you to say bye. My namesake, my guardian Angel. I love you Nana, and may you rest in Paradise. ❤️

Gentle reminder that sometimes it’s okay to not be ok . . . . . . . #westernstyle #igportraits #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthadvocate #microinfluencer #contentcreater #caliblogger #milspouselife #livingwithdepression #pursuitofportaits

I should be calling you to tell you Happy Birthday. I should be having a drink or getting drunk WITH you, not in memory of you. I remember when Id visit you in high school and you’d get me drunk off Smirnoff Ice and Sparks, and you would be laughing so much at me. Yesterday, I wanted to call you to tell you something that you would have thought was so funny and to invite you to something you would have absolutely loved to be apart of. Not being able to do hurts more than words coukd describe. I would give anything to beable to bring you back. I miss you so fucking much Tami. It’s unbearable to think about the fact that I’ll never hear your laugh or have a drink with you again. I hope you’re dancing in the sky and I hope you’re always watching over us. Happy Birthday in Paradise. I love you so much, my Angel ❤️❤️

It’s been the hardest week of my life since I found out you were gone 💔 this still doesn’t feel real. The world doesn’t feel right with out you in. You lit up every room you walked into. No day will ever go by where I won’t think about you and miss you even more then the day before. You were my favorite sister, my best friend, and the women I’ve always looked up to the most. Last year when I visited you I made a post about how it felt so great to be home, and that Ohio has always felt like home. This past week being there, without you, it no longer felt like home anymore. I love you Tami. I miss you so much. I can’t stand the thought of knowing I’ll never get to hear your endless jokes again. My laugh will never be the same without you. I didn’t visit anywhere as often as I should have, but I promise to be more present in watching your kids grow up ❤️ Y’all do not waste time in letting someone know how much you love them, how much they mean to you, or how much they complete your world. My sister knew I loved her, but I never expressed to her just how important she was to me, just how much I looked up to her, and how much I enjoyed her prescense. I hope she knew, I really really hope she knew but I regret never putting it into words. Rest in Paradise beautiful❤️ . . . . . . . #restinparadise #guardianangel #losingalovedone #mysisterskeeper #depressionawareness #sayiloveyou #spreadlove #caliblogger #ohio
