Considering I wear this American Apparel cardigan ALL the time, I'm surprised I don't have many more outfit posts of me in it! It's so comfortable and wraps around me like a great big hug. How was your Mother's Day yesterday? My mom is in Arizona right now, vacationing with my Dad and some friends (lucky her!) so unfortunately I didn't get to spend time with her on Sunday but I did have dinner with someone very special last night.
This is my 86 year-old Grandma, my Babcia in Polish. Not even a year ago she was very ill and in the hospital. I remember leaving work last June, rushing there after I was told a priest would be visiting her to give her her last rites. I remember the priest telling her that it wasn't her time yet, she still had a lot of life left in her and he was right. With all her strength and determination she pulled through, made it out of the hospital and is now at home. My Grandma still has lots of ailments to deal with but she's still here, chugging along and enjoying her family, including her brand new great grandson. I treasure these special days with her and am so thankful she's still with us. She's such an amazing woman and a wonderful Grandmother. I don't take any time with her for granted.
I hope you were able to celebrate your Mom yesterday. Or, if your Mom has passed, I hope you honored her in a special way.
You look gorgeous as usual! You do really love that sweater, haha! The light in these photos is awesome! I am glad your Babica is doing better and that you got to spend Mothers Day with her!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a beautiful weekend!

Ooh that sweater looks so comfy!!! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd wow, I am so glad your grandmother made it, it's so hard to lose a grandparent. I lost one of my grandmothers 0 years ago and I still think about her all the time.
I spent Mother's Day with my mommy and other grandma, so it was good :D

You're so lucky to have your grandma. Mine was Ukrainian and we called her Baba. This sure hits close to home (no pun intended). You guys look so wonderful together. Much love! xo

Thank you all for your nice comments! xoxo
ReplyDeleteAw, how wonderful that you got to spend Mother's Day with your grandma - she sounds like a very special lady :) I have only one grandparent left, my 89-year-old grandad, and living far from home, spending time with him, considering we never really know how much more of it there might be, is the thing I miss most.
ReplyDeleteLove that cardigan - the length is just incredible!
