My heart broke and my heart soared as I listened to this. Feeling everything and nothing, empty and full. But always, love prevails.

Beautifully written :) the imagery here was very powerful - reading this brought back bittersweet memories of spending time with my grandma who also used to make me banana toast! Love you so much <3

There is a phrase I lean on when it comes to things, people & life changing that helps remind me of how grateful I am to have made the memories when it truly mattered. You took notice, you were aware, you lived in the moment Lauren & most importantly you loved in the moment & that is the key to being able to cope 💖

‘Nothing is ever lost to us as long as we remember it...’ ✨

A beautiful emotive piece of writing that reminds us all that time is passing for us all & nothing can stay the same forever.... you are strong & soft in this vulnerable share & that is the light that will bring you through the dark. And of course you have all of us who love you on your team too L 💖
