Hi friends. I’ve been missing from here for a bit. It’s been a tough few weeks. My dad’s health started getting worse. Sadly, my sweet dad passed away yesterday. He was the most incredible person & I’ll miss him so much. TY to everyone who kept him in prayers. It meant the world.

Didn’t think I was going to get a copy. My day was hectic. Started trying before heading out to meet my family and parents for dinner - no luck. Had my brother call a bunch of stores for me - no luck. Heading home, saw this Jewel and pulled in. Got THE LAST COPY!! 💛

Each day I’d visit my dad in the hospital, I’d wear this shirt hoping it might make him smile. One year ago today, June 26, 2020, I wore it holding my dad’s hand at the end. I hadn’t worn it since. Brought it with me to Greece so I could wear it for him today.

Most amazing Xmas gift.
My sister & niece made shirts for us with our names written in my dad’s handwriting. The cardinal has been a very special symbol with special meaning for all of us since my dad passed away and 8/01 is his birthday.
My sweet baba.
Love + miss him so much.

My little girl brought this book home from school today & didn’t want to put it down not even while eating. When I saw it was Pashmina, the graphic novel about an Indian-American girl trying to understand her identity, it made me smile. She finished it & wants me to read it now.
