It’s Mother’s Day—and exactly 3-months since my dad’s passing.🕊️ I’ve learned a little about grief in these last months…but what has revealed itself the most is this: the feeling of grief doesn’t get easier, you just learn how to carry it better. 🤍❤️🩹🤍

This depth of grief is different than I had imagined it to be. It’s not always sadness. Sometimes it’s anxiety, or fear, or longing, or disorientation…the absence of someone you love carries the greatest weight of all.

I am so blessed to have had the BEST parents. They have given me SO much love and have shaped me in such a way that I am simply forever grateful. They taught me how to love. They’ve been my biggest comfort and support in life. I cry everyday in grief and gratitude. And yes, grief and gratitude CAN simultaneously exist. 🙏🏽🤍🙏🏽

It’s a bittersweet day for me, my mom, and my siblings. We celebrate my mother’s strength, but we mourn my father still very much…and Jéddo too. 💔 I talk to my mom everyday. I also talk to my dad everyday, even though his physical body is no longer here. I know that sounds strange, but I believe he’s still with me. I feel him.

This post is in dedication to them both today—they have both been ever present and will be forever honored in my life. ♥️♥️♥️

Happy Mother’s Day mom, I love you from the deepest depths of my heart. I cherish our relationship even MORE now after all we’ve survived together this last year. 🌹

I love you dad and miss you more than words can possibly express. Eres me alma. I am your home, and you’ll always be mine. ❤️🩹
