This last week I got to spend some time with my sisters ... at the lake. [One] has been in isolation for 7 months in Florida. This trip north was very much a shock to her system where she enjoyed eating in restaurants and being with family. I think she feared exposure while in Florida knowing she was by herself and no one to help take care of her should she be ill. I am so thankful to having my family around me and so thankful that I have not isolated myself during COVID. We have lives our lives and remained healthy following guidelines. This picture is a picture from the lake. It is my happy spot and I really enjoyed my two days with my sisters

Reminiscing on you is like opening a bottle of the wine you left. It is tricky at first, having to put the screw in and puncture the cork, Slowly twisting around like the way you stirred mac and chesse, and did my kinky curly hair. I went to your room the other day and saw your closet, It still smells like you, Snowball the dog kept sniffing around for you. He cries and waits for you to come home. I am grateful to be with family you left behind. The news echoes and follows me around like a shadow, Constantly reminding me of how you died, how I never even got to say goodbye. Your death certificate came in today. I will pick up your ashes tomorrow. I miss you so much grandma
