As you all know, the loss of my Pop has been hard on me and my entire family. But since he passed, I SWEAR he has been sending signs to us, letting us know it's ok, and that he is watching over us.
First... Jeff Gordon {my grandparents ALL TIME FAVORITE athlete/race car driver} won his first race this past weekend in a while. {Pop let him win}. I was very excited and a little piece of the pain went away because I felt Pop still with me.
THEN, Tuesday night, I was looking up what Meetups my "Mom Group" had to offer this upcoming week. Now, since our summer has been so crazy, I haven't had much interaction with them, and the first meetup that I saw was to go Peach Picking.
Why is this relevant, you ask?
Wellllll, one of my Pop's fav stories to tell about me was how I picked his "prize" peach off of his peach tree one summer. He was distraught, but couldn't be mad at me because I had picked it with the same pride, to give to my Pop-Pop.
Soooo, of course we had to go!!!
I was so excited!
So, Gwen and I went to this beautiful farm about 40-ish minutes from our house and had a blast! There was a bunch of activities for kids, but the best part?!? The peaches.
Gwen was pretty cranky {bc she barely napped} after taking her out of the bouncy house {which she couldn't get enough of!} but as soon as we walked into the peaches, she rallied! And had the best time.
I know he was there with us.
And it took away a little more of the pain.
When we got home, and after dinner, Gwen actually asked for one of the peaches... and she shared it with her Momma. It was perfect.
I got your sign, Pop, and it made me smile. Thank you. I love you.
xoxo.
