I may be a day early.
I couldn’t wait to celebrate International Daughters Day.
Today I’m celebrating two very special women who have had such a huge influence on my life.
My mom and my grandma.
I honestly don’t know where I would be without them.
They have given me so much love, guidance, wisdom and support throughout my life, and so much of who I am today is because of them.
My grandma may no longer be here, but I still feel her presence in my life every single day.
I think of her often, hear her words in my head and find myself remembering the little things she taught me. Her influence is still very much a part of who I am.
Both of these women taught me to work hard, believe in myself, take chances and go after what I want in life.
They taught me that if you want something, you can work for it and create a life that makes you so happy.
I’m so grateful for the extremely close relationship I have with my mom, and for all the years and memories I was lucky enough to share with my grandma.
The conversations, the laughs, the advice, the support and simply knowing they were always there.
I truly wouldn’t be the person I am today without these two women.
I’m incredibly proud to be their daughter and granddaughter, and I will always carry the things they’ve taught me. ♥️
