Last weekend my grandmother passed away. She lived a long life until the age of 95 and we were truly blessed to have her around.

Although we were prepared for her passing it still wasn’t easy.  I am now at ease knowing she’s in a better place.

On a positive note, I learned many things from my grandma. She taught me how to cook some of her amazing recipes including her Italian Chicken Soup and her beef meatballs, she taught me how to be tough and stand up for myself with my brothers, but the biggest thing she taught me was to smile. She always smiled when she was around her grandkids and that’s something that I will always remember.

To know that we could always put a smile on her face makes me very happy inside..

so smile today, you never know who’s watching!
