I’m a little late posting about Italy, mainly because I haven’t been using Instagram as much lately.

But this trip was too special not to share. We were lucky enough to experience one of the most beautiful places in Italy alongside two of our dearest friends, and it’s a trip we’ll always be grateful for.

From breathtaking scenery and incredible food to unforgettable moments with amazing people, this Italian vacation was everything we could have hoped for. Italy truly is one of the most beautiful travel destinations in the world, and we’re already looking forward to going back.

Here’s to incredible memories, great company, and hopefully me getting a little better at posting again. 🇮🇹❤️

A Note for Us All ~ Hectors. Fly High Angel.

I think we could all say more than enough about what Nan meant to us; as a mother, grandmother, sister, aunty, friend, and even, at one point in her working life, a dinner lady.

Losing Nan has brought a multitude of feelings. But the one I want to hold is relief knowing you are hand in hand with your lifetime love of 68 years again. Married 66. Granddad.

I didn’t truly anticipate loss until Granddad was first diagnosed with cancer — then went into remission, only to face challenges again. That’s when I realized how hard it would be to keep Nan purposeful. She had 68 years of someone gently sulking, winding her up, teasing her - and when Granddad passed, she was left with her two dumplings (sons) and her grandchildren to help fill that void.

Rest in peace, and power Nan. You are able to meet your long-time love again — in a place I imagine holds only calm, beauty, and warmth.

You are everything to each of us. Above all, you are abundant love.

She was warm.
She was kind.
She was loving.
She was protective - she showed us all what love meant and how to pass it forward.

She wouldn’t fault you, but she would always offer an opinion — whether asked for or not. She simply was love, in person form.

I know her life and her love have imprinted onto how we now love our partners, our friends, and most importantly, our children. She gave abundantly, without expectation of anything in return.

She was.
She is.
And she will always be remembered as LOVE.
