I just found the scarf my great grandmother knit way way waaayyy before I was born 46 years ago. She was one of the one's who *got* me. She was the one who loved me when my own mother couldn't be bothered and kicked me out. She gave me a home. She taught me what unconditional love was.

most days, no matter how hard you try...you're just not going to get exactly what you wanted. But it's going to be beautiful anyway ✨️
