One year today. . . .
365 days without my dad… and somehow it still feels unreal to say those words.
Grief has taken me on a journey I was never prepared for. Some days I feel like I have cried oceans. Other days I sit quietly and wonder if I haven’t grieved enough… if I should have cried more, said more, held on tighter. There truly is no formula for losing someone who meant so much.
This past year has taught me that grief doesn’t move in a straight line. It comes in waves,in random memories, in quiet moments, in the mornings when you wake up and the reality hits you all over again.
Today I woke up in tears.
Not just because you are gone… but because I miss everything about you. Your presence. Your voice. The comfort of simply knowing you were here.
People say time heals, but I’m learning that time doesn’t really take the pain away. It just teaches you how to live with the space someone you love left behind.
The truth is, a part of me left with you on that day. And no matter how much time passes, I will always be the daughter who misses her father.
But even in the ache, I am grateful. Grateful that I got to call you my dad. Grateful for the love you gave me, the memories you left behind, and the quiet strength you planted in me.
If love alone could have kept you here, you would have lived forever.
One year later… and you are still loved, still missed, still carried in my heart every single day.
Forever Ada Daddy❤️❤️
Happy World Dietitians Day! 🥗💚
Today we celebrate the science, compassion, and dedication behind every nutrition recommendation. As a dietitian, I am proud to be part of a profession that transforms lives through food, education, and evidence-based care.
Nutrition is not just about eating, it’s about healing, prevention, growth, and giving families the chance to live healthier, fuller lives. From guiding patients, to supporting mothers and children, to promoting better food choices every day, the impact of dietitians goes far beyond the plate.
Here’s to every dietitian working quietly but powerfully to build a healthier world.
Proudly a Dietitian💪 Proudly nourishing lives.

Hello March.
You are not just another month to me.
You hold memories I didn’t ask for and love I can never lose.
This month took my dad last year, and I’m walking into it with mixed emotions. Gratitude, pain, strength, and grace.
I don’t know exactly how I feel… but I know I’m still standing.
And somehow, that is enough. 🤍
I’m truly overwhelmed with love.
Thank you to everyone who called, texted, posted, prayed, gifted me, and celebrated me on my birthday. You made my day so special and unforgettable.
May your own celebrations be louder and sweeter. I’m deeply grateful 🤍

Another year added… and this time, I come with a quieter heart.
Not with loud wishes.
Not with long lists of expectations.
Because the last time I wished for ease, chaos followed.
So today, I simply breathe.
I reflect.
I surrender.
I’m grateful for life.
Grateful for strength I didn’t know I had.
Grateful for the grace that kept me standing when I felt like falling apart.
This new year, I’m not demanding answers.
I’m trusting the process.
Not forcing timelines.
Just allowing God’s will to unfold in His time.
If I’ve made it this far, then surely there is purpose ahead.
Happy birthday to me!!
still here, still hopeful, still held by grace. 🤍
