Thanks Photo Memories Widget

About a year ago my grandmother died. I spent the hardest week of my life with the family cleaning out her house in Ohio. Recently, my phone threw a memory on the photo widget named “Fun in Ohio”.

◑ ◦ Although going through a family member’s belongings, trying to decide what to keep in our own homes or donate. Which ones to throw away altogether. ◦ ◒ ◦ Although cramming condolences and love into a week while processing this new reality with the people who knew her best, probably for the last time with this much dedication. ◦ ◐ ◦ Although the companies that said they would come take all of the furniture said that none of the furniture was good enough to take. ◦ ◓ ◦ Although every time you close your eyes, you see yourself driving the 347 miles with one stop to run around the car three times, and you know you have 4 more days until you get to do it again except in reverse, from your bed on your camping mat on the ground in the dining room.

Although all of that is hard ◦❂◦ doing it while all 5 of you have Covid makes it just. so. much. worse. Some of the precious moments from that memory.
