A Taste of Wine
There's days where I'm sarcastic and days where I'm lovely. Days where I smile and days I barely get by. So here's my taste of wine: sometimes bitter and sometimes sweet.

My seniors. The girls I’ve spent the past two years with talking to each week. The past year with seeing multiple times a week. The girls that know my weakest moments and that have laughed with me in my strongest ones.
We all had a sleepover with the high school girls last night and I went to bed filled with love. And today, I am even more so filled with love. With contentment.
There was a moment we were sitting on the rocking chairs watching the gorgeous orange sun rise over the Chattooga Belle Farm Vineyards and my heart was whole. The only words my mind could form over and over were: “Nothing is as right as this.” And how true. Nothing is as right as the times spent with them. Nothing feels as peaceful, as hopeful, as hilarious and fun.
In telling a friend the other day just how much I’ll miss them, I was trying to find the words to describe my feelings. What I came up with is this: They are me. They make such a huge part of me, that they are me. Without them, I’m unsure of what will happen. I won’t be whole, I’ll only be a part. They are me.
So to you lovely, wonderful, and magnificent seniors of mine, I love you. I thank you. To each of my girls. Nothing is as right as this morning. As our adventures. As our time. You’re great, great friends. I love you, and I thank you.
With Love and Grace, Grandma C ;)

“It’s that time”
Three simple words to the beginning of an incredibly important letter. And how true it is- not only for the recipient, but for me as I’m writing it.
It’s that time. Time to sit down and put all of my thoughts and feelings into a letter. To somehow make the words match up to what these girls mean to me.
It’s that time to say everything I’ve wanted to say. To show who they are in my eyes. To share my wisdom for all of their college years to come. But to say all of this as well as a goodbye?
“Here it is. It’s that time where change is inevitable and everything from here on out is marked as unknown. Want to know a secret? I have no doubt that you are going to come out of it all so incredibly strong.”
Change is inevitable and here it is. And thanks to these girls, I’m going to have the strength to come out strong, just as I know they will themselves.
