Sometimes that place isn’t a town.
It’s a kitchen floor.
A living room with music playing.
A grandmother’s laugh.
A little hand in yours.

Grief isn’t just missing a person.
It’s missing the moments.
The version of life that existed when they were here.

The ordinary days that turned out to be everything.

If someone came to mind while reading this, leave an emoji that reminds you of them.

There’s something special about seeing the care that goes into every detail. 🌹

We recently got to watch a casket spray come together, and it’s truly an art form. Each stem is placed with intention, creating something beautiful to honor a life.

A big thank you to the talented team at Sugar N Spice Florist for sharing this moment with us.
