And in these next 50 years you will eat so many delicious meals, laugh so many times with so many people you love, shout and scream and sing and cry and smile so hard your face hurts. And you will see such beautiful sunsets and feel fresh cold air on your face and feel warm and safe wrapped up in your favourite winter coat.

my grandmother just gave me the worst news… we’re having company tonight and they might be sleeping over 💔

so turns out the people i hate did not come at all but instead my lovely great aunt and little cousin from poland came to stay with us for the whole week. it was honestly such a lovely turn of events because every morning has been spent drinking tea before work and eating small sandwiches my grandma and her sister made for all of us. my grandma has been happier because she's been with her sister this whole time (and for reference, she lives with me and most of her siblings have passed on except for this one and the other one that's still in poland). like i came home one day from work with sweet treats and found my grandma getting her hair cut in the kitchen by her sister and they were listening to songs they loved when they were younger. genuinely about to cry rn bc it makes me so happy to see my grandma so full of life but ik she's gonna be so sad when everyone goes back home :( i wish she was healthy enough to fly bc i would take her back to poland in a heartbeat... </3 every evening has reminded me of when i visited poland when i was younger... family around the table singing folk songs, drinking tea, eating desserts, and braiding each other's hair before bed... i love my family (craziness and all)
