Today for my blog, I decided to share and hear her memories
with those closest to me. So Vinny, Brian, Micah, Elijah, Corina and my mom all
shared our favorite memories of my dear cousin Heather. I talked to Tammy, and
Kim about her as well. And of course I called my bestie Lindsey and spoke in
length about my memories and this blog and what it has done for my life. At
home, we toasted to Heather as well.
The one thing I can say is that multiple people that I spoke
with today said how proud Heather would be of me for this blog. I felt very
touched and honored by that. But seeing my youngest Elijah, say in a very
serious manner that he was so proud of me for everything he has seen me do with
the blog in her honor this past year just filled my heart with joy. He shared
his memory of Heather with us and then came over and gave me a big hug and told
me not to be sad but to keep the good memories alive. I agreed and told him
that is exactly what I planned to do and that I was grateful for his support.
I enjoyed my conversations with everyone about Heather as
they shared their favorite memories with me. Meanwhile, I reached out to her
husband and kids as well to let them know that I am here for them now and
always. I can’t imagine how hard this day must be for them. I pulled out the
angel I bought when Heather passed away and put it on our buffet in the
kitchen. I intend to leave it there for the remainder of the month.
I miss my cousin Heather. She was truly like a sister to me.
She cut the cord when my son Micah was born, not sure we could be much closer
than that lol. She was there in good times and bad. She was my friend, my
confidant, my sounding board and my support system. She was the girl who never
ever judged me, always had my back, always took my side and never doubted me.
She was an amazing friend, absolutely fantastic wife and mother. She worked
hard and cared so much. She had a contagious laugh, an amazing sense of humor,
she was a good cook and a terrible driver (that I teased her about all the time
lmao). She was simply an amazing human being in every way.
Cheers to the life of my dear friend and cousin Heather. I
am a better person for the years she was in my life and grateful for every
moment we had. #HGAL
