I've been struggling to post lately, and I think it's because my heart is still catching up.
One of my longtime clients passed away recently. But calling her a client doesn't really feel right.
She worked with my mom when I was little at Hollywood Video. Back then, she would let me "help" by heat-wrapping VHS tapes and putting stickers on them. She always kept an eye and an ear out for me.
Years later, when I started my business, she was one of my biggest supporters. She always had ideas, projects, gifts she wanted made for friends and loved ones, and she trusted me to bring them to life. She was usually the first like and comment on my posts. Facebook may not have tracked that, but I knew… I saw it. I appreciated it so much….
The last time we talked, she told me she had another project in mind but wanted to wait until she could better articulate it.
I didn't know that day would never come.
Now I find myself wondering what wonderfully beautiful project she had planned. Who it was for. What story was behind it. Or maybe it was something she wanted for herself.
I'll never know, and I think that's part of what makes losing her so hard.
Thank you for believing in me for so many years. Thank you for supporting my work, encouraging my creativity, and cheering me on from the sidelines. I'll miss seeing your name pop up on every post.
The world feels a little quieter without you in it……
