My grandmother was my best friend, my greatest source of encouragement, and the reason I believed in chasing my dreams.

She was the woman I looked up to, the one I hoped to become—sweet, gentle, kind, with a bit of sass and always full of the right words with the best advice. To me, she was perfect.

Alongside my grandfather, they showed me what true, unconditional love looked like. Their beautiful marriage of more than 60 years spoke a language of love that needed no words—raw, genuine, and unwavering.

Because of their example, I dreamed of becoming a wife, a mother, and eventually a business owner. As I follow my passion for crystals, I still hear my grandmother’s sweet voice encouraging me, reminding me that she’s proud of how far I’ve come. Her love, wisdom, and belief in me continue to guide every step I take.

Because of her, I’m able to share this dream with all of you today.
