Late Night Gratitude for Mem

Tonight my heart is full of gratitude for my Memaw.

She’s my best friend in the whole world. My right hand. My partner in crime. We’ve traveled everywhere together … through so many states, autism walks, big moves, and even all the way to Florida.

I truly wouldn’t have been able to do any of it without her. Not a single piece. Whether it was helping me with the girls, stepping in financially when we needed it, or just being someone to talk to when life felt overwhelming … she has always been my rock.

I don’t ever want to do life without her.

She has been there through everything … quietly, consistently, without asking for anything in return.

All I want is to spend every day with her. To slow down. To be better to her. To lotion her feet, make her food whenever she asks, sit with her longer, listen more, and love her louder while I still can.

She has given me so much of her life, her energy, her care. (And tonight I am just full of love for her, literally crying at 3:30 am writing this)

Thank you for being my safe place.

Thank you for walking beside me through every season.

Thank you for loving me and my girls the way only you can.

I love you more than words could ever explain.
