my lola 🤍 my inspiration in many ways indescribable. a woman anchored in her convictions, unshaken by circumstance, and unafraid to stand alone when needed. she constantly reminded me, 'you have to be [and do] the best of the best'. a philosophy of sort, deeply engraved within me.
oh to embody half the woman that you were; to hold my ground with grace, to be intentional yet adaptable, and to carry strength without losing my sense of self. 90 years of a life well lived; thank you for the 25 years you spent with me.
I'll miss you and our little chats every day — last photo is a treasured jewelry box gifted to me, filled with my favorite pieces she gave through the different milestones of my life.
