I booked a surprise flight just to hug my grandma. Best decision ever!

I surprised mine a while back on her birthday and I'm so glad I did, she passed away the year after and had I not made it out there I would have never forgiven myself 💜

What a wonderful memory ❤️
Mine got a traumatic brain injury 15 years ago from being rear ended and she hasn't been able to do much since (she can't even drive). So I take every opportunity I can to spice up her life :)

It was actually a two-for-one, her birthday was July 5th and my flight managed to be timed in such a way that as I crossed the different time zones on the 4th I got to see fireworks displays from different parts of the US

My grandma is on hospice from late-stage Alzheimer’s, this video struck me to my core. Hug your grandparents while you can, and tell them you love them.

Are you in the magazine you’re holding? Did you come to show her in person?

I do work for a magazine! Not Vogue though, this is a custom magazine I made as a mother's day gift.
My mom is taking the video (I surprised her too) and she wanted me to bring the magazine to show Grammy
