When I originally saw that my gift had shipped, I told myself I was going to wait until I sent out my gift to open it.

However, my mom called today to tell me that my grandma had. passed away this morning. I live by myself, several states away from any family, so when the package arrived I decided I would open it to brighten my day and feel a little less alone.

I received a note saying I would be receiving 3 things, hopefully in the same box - plant lights (for my indoor apartment plants), a cookbook, and a candle! Everything but the candle arrived so I am greatly looking forward to that. Gardening and cooking are both things I associate very highly with my grandmother, so this was a gift that very much brightened my day and I am incredibly thankful to have received something today that reminds me of our similarities and how I can help her to live on. Thank you so much, whoever you are! I would love to thank you personally if you would like to reach out (but of course I understand if not too) <3 I will update with a photo of the candle when it arrives.
