\ngrandma has been in heaven for a\u00a0little\u00a0over a year and a half.
\ni still miss her every day.
\ni know that she was very<\/i> near on jonah’s birthday.<\/p>\n

when i first moved out of my parents house, i didn’t have a lot of kitchen gadgets to my name.
\nback then, i wasn’t as in to stocking my future kitchen as i was my current closet.
\nnaturally, moving out taught me a lot about myself.<\/p>\n

i got a call from grandma one day saying she needed my help with a project she was working on.
\nshe didn’t really<\/i> need help.
\nshe had cleaned out her cupboards and filled box after box for me to take to my new home.
\nshe sent me home with a brand new kitchenaid mixer, silverware, tuppereware,
\nfrozen cookiedough, her handwritten cookbooks, this-n-that,
\nand container of sprinkles that has forever<\/u> changed my life.<\/p>\n

grandma claimed that sprinkles were her happiness.
\nshe guaranteed me that day that if i would sprinkle a few sprinkles on whatever i ate for breakfast,
\ni would have a day full of happiness and joy.
\nregardless of whether she used this trick in her daily life or just told me it
\nbecause she knew it would help me get through this new transition,
\nit has been stuck in my heart ever since.<\/p>\n

grandma taught me to be grateful for my life, and to be embrace who i am.
\ni am a better person, a better daughter, and a better mom because of her.
\nshe chose to live a life built on genuine<\/i> relationships and sincere <\/i>happiness despite of all her health issues.
\ni know that she took care of little jonah before he got here,
\n+ i can’t wait for the day where we are all together again!
\ni can totally picture her singing her special\u00a0rendition of happy birthday with i love you on the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
