“I knew where I was, wasn’t where I would stay.” These are the wise words from Oprah that met me when I opened up Instagram today. This has been an interesting season.

Grief has a funny way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it. I recently have really been missing my grandfather; his words, his advice, his kindness.
