So much love

I have Mee-maw on the mind. I keep replaying so many scenes from the beautiful and heartbreaking weekend we spent honoring the life of the amazing and compassionate woman I was lucky enough to call Mee-Maw. I know that she was so deeply in love with her family, and so proud of us all.

I still can't quite wrap my head around the fact that I'll never again see her smiling face as she holds her arms open for a hug, or hear her sweet voice on the phone, telling me of her boundless love. Yet I remain grateful for the 29 years I was granted to know and love Mee-Maw, and the love she shared with her family lives on in us. I'm not sure I'll ever 'get over' the loss of my grandma; it's as if one of the warmest, brightest lights in my life flickered out last Friday. But I'll always have memories of Mee-Maw and her enormous heart, and I have also been blessed with an amazing family, a family that embodies the generosity of spirit epitomized by Enid Gloria Siegel.

Rest in peace, Mee-Maw. You are already sorely missed.
