1 year.

Exactly a year ago today I was on my 5th day of sitting in a hospital in Thousand Oaks, California with my family when my Grandpa John passed away. It's hard to believe it has already been a whole year, and looking back it's hard to believe what my family was going through on this exact day last year. We were all holding each other, crying, and supporting each other at this exact moment.

It's really crazy to think about how different everything was exactly one year ago. I know for me, at least, I was in a completely different place in life. And over the past year I have grown and experienced so much. I will always love and miss my Grandpa and I am so thankful for the 19 years I got to spend with him in my life.
