I'm sorry you experienced these losses, but isn't it an absolutely wonderful thing to know that we can experience such intense feelings because there are people who have been so important to us (even if we don't realize it until after they are gone)?
Take time today to share your feelings with someone who still alive... even if all you do is squeeze their hand or give a silent hug. But if you can do or say more, by all means do or say more.
“It is the biggest things that will be remembered publicly. But it is the little ones that bind those of us who remain together. “ Thank you for recognizing and remembering the little things about the people you love.
Beautiful, Amy. I'm honoured that you linked to my post and sad that the reason you did so is that we both lost friends recently. Holly sounds like such a wonderful person, as does your Pop-Pop. And you are so right about how those of us who knew a person in a private way will remember the quirks that the general public doesn't know about. I still say "glove department" because that's what my dad jokingly said. :-)
I also think it is absolutely OK to write when grief is fresh. And when it's ripe. And any time in between. That's what words are for.

This was beautiful!
Oh, Amy, thank you for sharing your grief with us. May Holly's memory be eternal, held in God's hands and in the hearts of those who loved her.
Just beautiful. Well, poignant and beautiful.
I’m so sorry for your losses but loved getting to know these two dear people through your words. 💜

I'm sorry for the loss of your grandfather and of your friend. Thank you for sharing some of their quirks with us.
So sorry for these losses. This was such a beautiful note on your loved ones and the ways each life can impact so many.
