In July 2022, I returned to my grandparents' home, expecting a temporary stay before relocating again. Instead, this period deepened our bond, allowing me to cherish the simple joys of everyday life, especially with my grandmother. Her excitement in decorating my room was a reflection of her love. Cooking and our regular Saturday Cracker Barrel breakfasts became treasured rituals, illustrating how slow, present moments can create unforgettable connections. This experience ultimately taught me to appreciate every moment with family, especially after losing my grandmother.
"Living with my grandparents wasn't about big adventures but about small, simple joys. Each morning, my grandmother asked, 'Do you want grits and eggs?' even though she knew the answer was always yes."
"My grandmother was excited when I moved back. Before I moved, she called to ask, 'What color do you want your room?' She insisted on personalizing my bedroom."
