My great-granny AKA my other mother passed away on May 20, 2019 and I’ve yet to post pictures from her funeral as I’m still deeply in denial. As this day comes to an end I can’t forget that it would have been her 98th birthday and she isn’t here for a birthday dinner at my moms or a themed party somewhere else. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her or the a week where that girls and I don’t laugh about a granny story. If you never had a true granny you will never understand the mark she left on all of us. I can’t even out it into words. I miss my granny so much, propel think they know this pain, but they have no idea idea until they are unfortunate enough to go through it 😢😩😢 #RIP #Granny #GreatGranny #MotherDear #3301922 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Ya2y5FcWM6USOJ45uawYDst8EQ1vZPr4PL5U0/?igshid=13ugan0ose3x4

Advice for Remy, Day 61. Take time to learn about your family and where you came from. I’ve always been obsessed with family history, keen to investigate my family tree and find out more about the individual little parts that came together to make up me. As a result, your Rook family lineage can be traced back to the 1600s through many, many generations. However that’s just one line of what ultimately made you. You’re also constructed of Whitmores, Temporals, Phillips’, Bennetts, Bakers (and undoubtedly a list of others long enough to fill a phonebook). They all contributed part of what makes you you, and are all equally as important as the line whose surname you happen to share. Today we went to visit the cemetery where your great grandpa and great granny have their memorials, to introduce you to the people who gave you two-eighths of of your DNA. Your mum and granny will no doubt tell you all about them over the next few years, and we’ll make sure you know all about the other six-eighths as well, along with a whole very important quarter who you unfortunately won’t have the chance to get to know yourself. It’s so important to understand where you came from and the people who made you - what they were like, what made them tick, what they did in their lives, and the impact they had on people. After all, without the people mentioned on those plaques, you wouldn’t be here at all. So we’ve all got a great deal to be thankful to them for.

Nothing is better than going home to family and eating good food😍 . . . . #goa #msdhitscentenary #happybirthdaymai #100thbirthday #greatgranny #warriorblood 💪 (at Silver Bells - Sangolda) https://www.instagram.com/p/By4HVmFj74MXFZe8ROFSI3_AKYEj7yB_0uNwAY0/?igshid=1xudab8actp53

I try to remember to take a picture every time I’m there now, since at 101.5 years idk when it will be my last time. She always makes me laugh though by her complete astonishment that I happen to have this strange camera in my pocket. (I don’t bother telling her it’s a phone, just that it’s my camera, that opens enough questions) #onehundredandoneandahalf #101 #phone #camera #greatgranny #love #family #ageisjustanumber (at West Covina, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btd5gghBj7X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=foo7pk88r5v5

Stopped by Great Granny’s today, they were celebrating a woman who turned 100 today. I think that makes 4 residents at her home over a century. Including my granny at 101 1/2! She looks pretty good for her age, right?! #overacentury #greatgranny #singlemom #fostertoadopt #fostermom #rainyday https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsogv5EAvau/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fx8toxcq03s2
