Grief is a funny thing. But I'm glad you made the pie. I'm glad she left you a piece of herself you were able to see.

Grief is a whole bish. Lol. Definitely bittersweet.

Sweet potato pie is my signature baking dish. I have been perfecting it since I was a teen. I wanted to make it as good as my Aunt Shirley’s. Definitely understand the sadness mixed with sweet.

I love that. I don’t have a lot of years in but I was impressed. We’re always trying to live up to their legacy. 💕

The mere act of holding space for their traditions is veneration. Sending you hugs and comfort this holiday season 🫂.
