Last week my mom and I took a quick trip to Palm Springs to celebrate what would have been my grandma’s 98th birthday. My oldest nieces joined us too.
It was an honor to celebrate her in a place where she has taken me 38 out of my 40 years. It’s like a second home and a place that I can connect to her. She was seen and felt all around, through the dove near her lot that watched us, the hummingbird that stayed above our car for over a minute, the butterfly that kept lingering…she was there too.
We went to her favorite restaurant on her birthday (Sherman’s Deli), had her favorite meal (matzo ball soup), and sang her Happy Birthday with our birthday bunny.
I miss her. I miss her terribly. She was such a light in my day, week, month. I didn’t realize just how much of her energy was a part of who I am until she was gone. So much of my time revolved around her happiness, her laughing, her feeling loved.
I recently had a session with a psychic medium. It was a magnificent experience - she was there the whole time. The medium kept telling me throughout our hour session - I like this woman, I love her energy, I could just cry feeling the emotional connection between you two, everyone loves her, she’s like your mom, grandma, best friend, world, she just wants the best for you, she’s always wanted the best for you. Many other things were mentioned and I’ll keep that private, but it felt good, it felt right and it felt like a big loving hug.
Thankful for the time we had on earth. Thankful that she’s all around me. Thankful we will see each other in another life.
Love you grandma. Thank you for everything.
