I Just Wanna Go Back In Time...

(Disclaimer: My titles from now on will probs all reference a Lady A song, can't help it!)

Here's the thing, I'm a night time blogger.  Here's the problem, I work at night.  Good excuse right? 

So I've been busy.

Doing lots of things and stuff.

A few weeks ago me and my momma went down to La Jolla together <3

It was a beautiful day, like most days in that city

but not a beautiful reason for going.

We initially went to do some more cleaning out of Thee house,

but we ended up locked out, which was awesome.

So once I figured out that I wouldn't be able to break in I decided

to take some pics.

It was a really sad day for me.

My Gram had this home built back in the day,

she raised her children her

all by herself.

Her darkest nights and happiest moments

are no doubt within these walls.

The only children who have played in the halls

and filled this home with

love and laughter

are hers.

Now that life has changed

some one else is going to live here.

Someone who doesn't know

how hard she worked

and how much she sacrificed

for this home.

To them, it's just a really nice home

in an affluent neighborhood.

After a talk with my mama I felt a little better but it's still sad.

Life doesn't always get easier as you get older.

No one tells you about the sadness you will go through

watching the people you love, the ones that helped to make you

who you are and gave you the ultimate gift of life and loving parents,

fade away. 



Luckily for me, I have amazing memories with my Gram ^^

It wasn't always rainbows and butterflies, but it was love.

She never missed a birthday or graduation.  She was there for

almost every holiday and loved to travel with us. 

So many of the places I have experienced have been with her

or because of her.

I am a better person because of her and I could never thank her enough

for giving me my amazing daddy!

(she took this picture of baby K on one of our tips to the Merry-Go-Round)

As I get older I can truly see that she rose above all the obstacles in life

that most others couldn't imagine.  She was so strong <3 

A piece of me will always be on Avenida Manana <3
