56 Days By HKG 11/11/25
56 days ago, 3,000 or so miles away and sometime after I was asleep, you took your last breath. 56 days ago, my life changed in a way I could have never possibly imagined. I honestly thought I had come to terms with you being gone after we were blessed enough as a family to…
I Miss You 😢 by HKG 9/22/25
Oh Momma…I’m trying…so hard. To hold it together, to breathe, to be ok. It’s SO DAMN HARD 😭 No one told me how to do this…no one warned me how hard it would be. I’m stuck between ‘I’m so glad you aren’t hurting anymore ‘ and my heart feeling like it’s been crushed in a…
Fam{ILY} by HKG 8/29/24
These are my parents… my mom and dad … the two most influential people in my life. My role models, my teachers, the parents I was beyond blessed to be born to…who loved me, fed me, clothed me, supported me, accepted me and nurtured me …who taught me morals and values and how to be…
I was incredibly blessed to be loved my entire life by my Grandma. I only lived for a short time in the same town she did because of my Dad’s military career…but in spite of that, my Mom’s Mom made sure I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that I was loved, no matter who I was and no matter what I did with my life…she loved me unconditionally.
Fast forward to the early 2000’s when I had my babies…Grandma’s first great grandchildren…and the generations of love continued. My children were blessed to be loved by Grandma too …she was literally one of the very few who ever babysat my kids …and she played games with them, rode scooters long after she should, baked cookies, read to them and loved them with all of her heart. I always knew that Nick, Jessica and Tim were amazingly fortunate to grow up being loved by her…but that also it meant that they would have to experience the pain of her passing…and that it would hurt them beyond words.
In 2016, Grandma had surpassed her 90th birthday, was living in a nursing home, and suffering from the heartbreaking effects of alzheimers. There were days we would visit when she had no idea who we were, and there were days when I would sit with her and she would say “oh, you’re my Heather…where have you been? I love you”. Jessica was pregnant with her 1st child…Emma would be my Grandma’s first great great granddaughter…and our one wish was that the two would meet…here…in this world.
Sadly, that was not to be the case…and our much loved Grandma, Lucille Cromie Blesh passed on May 18, 2016…just 10 days before her great great granddaughter was born. Jessica was heartbroken that they did not meet…but as a family, we’ve held tight to the belief that because we lost our beloved Grandma before Emma was born, it simply meant that she was with her from that moment on …watching over her and loving her as only she could do. A couple years ago we took a 4 generation picture…and today, while missing her Grandma, Jessica created one with all 5 of us …with Grandma right where she should have been and always will be in our hearts.
Thank you babygirl…this picture means the world to me…as much as you do …and as much as you did and always will to her. ❤️

❤️ Resolve ❤️ by HKG 1/4/23
I’ve never been one to make conscious New Year’s resolutions. It’s not that I don’t think they are a good idea, I simply think that for me it always felt like it would cause me to put more pressure on myself than I already do on a regular basis. Do more, be more, achieve more…

Do you know what a VICTIM (man, woman or child) of abuse, neglect, trauma or abandonment does NOT need to hear from you or anyone? They do not need you to inform them “it made you stronger”, “it could have been worse”, “you’re better off without them”, “what you went through helped shape who you’ve…
