I haven’t posted in a while. Life has looked a little different since losing Mike, and for a long time I just didn’t have it in me to create.
But today, something small and meaningful happened. My mother-in-law asked me to make a “blind date with a book,” and for the first time since he passed, I sat down and made one.
I didn’t think I would again.
But as I started, I could feel him. Mike was always my biggest supporter—he was proud of every single thing I made. He even kept pieces I didn’t realize meant that much. That’s just who he was.
Today was hard… but it was also healing.
Creating again made my heart feel something I haven’t felt in a while. A little happiness. A little peace. And a whole lot of love for the man who always believed in me.
This one’s for you, My Love. 🤍
and while I started making it of course Mikes favorite came on the radio so that made me feel like he was right next to me creating it too! 🙏🏼
