On Senior Citizens Day, I’m remembering one of my greatest treasures: my Nanny. 💛
August 28th is Nanny’s heavenly birthday, and August 20th marks the anniversary of her passing. Seeing her handwritten recipe reminds me that the people we love leave pieces of themselves behind in the most meaningful ways — in recipes, traditions, stories, and the way they cared for us.
Today is a beautiful reminder to honor the seniors in our lives who have made such a lasting impact. It is also a reminder that sometimes love means having the hard conversations.
Conversations about wishes, care, family, and planning may feel uncomfortable, but they can prevent confusion, stress, and conflict later.
Having Nanny’s handwritten recipe is a treasure. Knowing her wishes were honored is a gift.
So today, sip the tea, save the recipes, ask the questions, and make sure the people you love have peace of mind. ☕
