"small irritations"
If you let any small thing ruin your day, you will lose. Lose big time. You have to skip those "small irritations" and don't let anything bother you. Your head is your biggest asset, and there is no storage for those "little thing...

Small things.
Now it's even smaller, but you know it's only the accessories. The most important thing is what you have inside your head. Your hands and your creative mind. Your grandmother's gifts. Don't cry over the small things, you know they are small.&nb...

Now is your chance to win.
It's the way you speak to yourself when you get caught unprepared. It's the way you undoubtedly believe in yourself, even when you can't see where it is going. It's you. And now is your chance to w...

I wish you were here.

The best. You were the best.
We went to your house today. It was the first time we had gone there since you were gone. This place doesn't feel like a home anymore. It feels different. Who knew one day we would come here, and you would be gone. You were not there to give me a hug or wave to me from the window. I wish I knew you wouldn't be here forever. I wish I was smart enough to tell you all the things I didn't.&nb...

I miss you.
I miss you. I wear your clothes. I use your gold-colored cutting scissors. I want to call you and tell you so many things. Everything in my room reminds me of you; pieces you helped me sew, patterns you made from kitchen paper towels, and even a bra you made me more than twenty years ago. I wish I knew you wouldn't be here forever.&nb...

I wish I could tell you I love you. One more time.
I sent a package today. I package you would want me to send. A pair of magnet "boots" for a special girl who wished to have them. I know you would be happy to hear that story. I know you would have said, "Don't say I've taught you" and I would answer with "You are a good grandma" and "Talk to you tomorro...

Baby steps.
I'm trying to keep making steps forward. It's not my usual steps, it's baby steps but it's better than no steps. I miss Grandma. Sewing without you is hard but life without you is even harder.&nb...

Navigate life without you.
We went to see your mom today. I wish I had taken you there more than once. I know you would have loved to but would never ask. There are so many things I'm sorry about. So many things I didn't say, so many tips and tricks I didn't learn yet. I just hope I will know how to navigate life without you.&nb...

God hands.
We are coming to see you tomorrow. But you will not wait for me on the balcony and will not make me the food I love most. I will not show you the new stuff I have made on my phone, because you are not here anymore. You are in god hands now Grandma, and I will miss you forever.&nb...

Crying.
I'm crying when I find drafts you left me, like a paper pattern of pants you made me from kitchen paper towels. I cry between 5 pm to 7 pm because those were our hours. I cry for not fixing your computer at all cost. For not buying you new fabrics insted of giving you my leftovers. I sit and I cry.&nb...

Your name.
Your name was on that little Bilble. The bible you used to read every week after learning how to read in your late 80's. Now your name is on that cover. I sat in the place you loved the most wondering which chair was yours, what would you have said about all the people showing up, about covering my sewign machine with leopard print, about life without you.&nb...

Please come to back.
I'm leaving you a chair next to my bed. I hope you will come to visit me at night. Telling me you are ok now, that nothing is painful anymore. That you will guide me and love me forever.&nb...

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry for every call I was mad for no reason, for every visit I was in a hurry, for every time I made you worry. How will I be able to sew without you?. You were always a call away for advice and comforting words. No one loved me like you do. I will miss you forever.&nb...
