Unapologetically Awesome in #death

I don't quite know how my brain is going to process this. There are either going to be an unbelievable surge in posts over the next few days, or I might have to ask the TNTML staff to help with posts ... I'm a go big or go home kinda chickadee. I just found out that I have to head back east, to both Florida and Connecticut to say good bye to two family members. It's so weird, I mentioned this in a post a few days ago ... it almost seems worse when someone has a very long ... dramatic ... death. When it finally does come, it's like really? Really now?? You're not just kidding around this time ?? I've had people just drop dead on me, but this one ... this one with my grandmother wasn't very pleasant. I very literally became a new person, and it gave me this SURGE of passion to want to LIVE LIFE 24/7. I guess in her own way, that is one of the greatest gifts that my grandmother gave to me.

I had these on my Facebook page ... these were some of my favorite memories of my grandmother.

I really want to know the context of this picture ...

I spent every summer as a kid up at the Lake House with my grandparents. The week their friends would come up, and we sat around playing cards was always my favorite week of the year. Yeah ... how. friggen. NERDY!!!

My grandparents always kept bread in the house so I could feed the ducks.

And of course ... it also inspired a video.

Don't be afraid to ever be unapologetically awesome. Every moment in life is a gift ... 86,400 seconds in each day. What are you going to do about it?
