hi guys thank you for watching if you did and I hope you like the little thing I did at the end too! this was kind of hard to talk about but I'm glad I did anyway because I really wanted to say something about it. I ended up enjoying having it as an outlet too
also I hope you have a great day or night. and if you don't then I hope that never happens again because what?
love you drew
@@mytoecold love u mr. drew
i love u drew
Also drew, that’s really sweet that you tried to make that baby happy. Me as a mom, I can say I would totally appreciate that. And that is totally something your grandma could’ve made happen.
I feel so honored to have gotten a glimpse at your guy's relationship
same
so true

Who was he dating
"Grief is unexpressed love"
Your relationship with her was beautiful.
Hi Drew - I knew Dorothy for years.. a few decades actually. She was a rare person with the spunk and spirit of a teenager always. She served the community and always stayed true to herself. My heart goes out to you because I know what a special person she was. Your grief is only a demonstration of your love. My condolences to you .
She definitely was rare
oh what a touching tribute. i hope he sees this.
this video brought me to tears. “i always believed her when she told me she loved me” .. thank you for sharing this drew. The way you talk about things, stitching humor into the massive amounts of pain and grief you are speaking of, i don’t know.. it makes it so much more human? it makes me feel like i’m truly seeing that part of you. I hope you’re okay, and that you’re kind to yourself.
I'm actually really sad to hear about the loss of your Grandma. The way she loved you and accepted you no matter what was so heartwarming to see. I'm beyond sorry for your loss, Drew. May she rest in peace.
When my grandmother (95) passed away my mom said "you'd think it'd hurt less because you had so much time together, but it made me that much more used to having the time together."
My 17 year old sister died in September due to an accidental overdose on Fentanyl. This video meant a lot to me and your humor mixed in with your fears and sadness really resonated. The whole "I have a feeling shes gonna live to 100" bit really got to me, because even though I knew my sister was an addict and was doing harsh drugs, I "had a feeling" she would just grow out of it. Ive also struggled with this new found fear of "I have a new feeling that everyones gonna die" and in a lot of ways I think ive been over analyzing my loved ones health and well being because of it. That realization of death being real is so hard to navigate and I still havent quite worked through it. Anyways.. enough rambling in the youtube comments. Im very sorry for your loss Drew. Ive been watching you for over a decade and your grandma always made me laugh my ass off. I hope you find peace. Much love to you and your family.
Oh man I'm so sorry about what happened to your sister. I hope you're doing alright
I am so sorry that happened. How are you and your family holding up?
Ty for commenting this, I love the way you worded everything you said because it describes basically what I’m feeling too. My brother died from accidental fentanyl overdose about a year and a half ago, and it kills me everyday. I also thought he’d eventually go to rehab and get his shit together because that’s what people do, and then I got the phone call. People really don’t understand what it is like to lose a sibling until it happens, it’s like losing a limb. And I get the fear of thinking now everyone else is going to die, it sucks, I have his cat and all I keep thinking is what am I going to do when his cat dies? And then I torture myself thinking about it. I am so very sorry for your loss, I hope you and your family find any amount of peace possible. I am also sorry for rambling in the RUclips comments, felt like I just needed to get something out lol.
@Alexis McKinney Im so sorry for your loss. Losing a sibling really is the strangest thing. I keep thinking about how im going to explain her to my future kids. She would have been such a cool aunt. She was always the fun one. I bet having your brothers cat is very bitter sweet. I bet it feels like the last part of him still living. And the idea that the cat wont live forever is probably also terribly sad to think about. Thanks for sharing your story with me. It made me feel less alone. Give your cat a cuddle for me.
@@sagewarren8431 thanks Sage. Some days are easier than others. I appreciate your concern, wishing you the best.
"I trusted that the salmon was done, with her" --I don't think you realize the impact of your words sometimes Drew. The way you put that, though the words are seemingly simple, actually holds such a powerful message underneath. You have such a way of saying things that resonate deep at the core. It's almost like poetry, and you convey things in a way that only you can do.
That sentence alone could be a wonderful closing line to a poem! ❤️
@@LynnieKoko absolutely. I’ve noticed this a lot in Drew’s videos- he says things that are so profound in such a simple way. Almost like slam poetry-esque. He has such a beautiful mind
@@COURTSamaziing Indeed. Drew is a gift to this world.
I was looking for this comment 😅 when he said that, TEARS
@@sammymaldonado8598 same 🥹 this whole video was such a brilliant tribute to Grandma Dorothy
“I dont think I’ll ever have a more meaningful dinner”😭 Your grandma was such a light to see in your videos. It was so obvious how much she loved you, and how beautiful to have some of that love documented. I am so sorry you didn’t get more time with her❤️ Please be gentle with yourself while you grieve, we love you drew❤️
the way this man can still make me laugh as i’m bawling my eyes out for him is incredible. we love you drew and we all felt the love you had for your grandma through the screen over the years. she was a special lady ❤
This prompted me to give my Grandma a call. She's 95 and I know our time is limited. I feel the same way about her as you did for your wonderful Grandma. I'm sending you so much love and hugs. The loss of a special person is one of the most painful things a human can experience.
drew, i know it's not the same, but please know that so many of us are out here grieving your grandma with you
Im literally crying over this
From the small glimpse we saw of her online presence, she was a true treasure ❤️
I've never heard someone verbalize feelings quite as perfectly as Drew does. Sending love
The salmon eating alone and compilation of videos has me crying here. She was beautiful and so was your relationship with her❤️❤️
This was a beautiful tribute to your grandma. I felt like an orphan when my 93 year old grandma passed away when I was in my 20s. Her age didn’t make it easier. You’re allowed to make it a big deal because it is ❤
i literally never comment. i’ve watched your channel since the absolute BEGINNING. definitely grew up with you, your grandma was a light and an angel and she really loved you. please take the time you need to grieve, drew. we love you 🤍
thank you so so much im glad you commented
I have two things to say.
First I don’t have a normal family structure and I’m so grateful you shared your wonderful grandma with us all this time. It brought me so much joy.
Secondly. My best friend passed away last week in a car accident and to watch this video and parasocially spend time with someone I “know” who is also going through loss was helpful.
I’m so sorry for your loss but I’m so grateful for you sharing yourself and this amazing woman with us.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I’m sobbing I hope drew kept scooby doo from her to look at when he’s sad 🤍 I’m sure he did, im so sorry for your loss drew it was amazing to be able to watch your special relationship. Rest in peace Dorothy ❤
“I want to hang out with my friend” got me. Your relationship with grandma means so much. Even those who aren’t regular, long term fans of your content could take away so much from this friendship. There’s literally no doubt in my mind that you two are the bestest friends I’ve ever gotten the pleasure to know about. This video and your feelings are so important. Thank you for being open about this Drew. You didn’t have to but I know a lot of people are glad you did, including me.
I’ve dreaded seeing this video posted. From the glimpses we had the privilege seeing of the woman your grandma was, she was an amazing person. She was so supportive of you and your craft and I absolutely adored her, as I’m sure I can say we all did. She was so proud of you and you can tell, and I hope you carry that with you forever and can remember that when you need it most.
you eating salmon alone at the end broke me. thank you for sharing her, even through a screen you could tell she was so wonderful and genuine :( missing her already
My 93 year old grandfather died a few weeks ago, so I saved this video for when I was ready to watch. I keep having the same conversation… “he lived such a long and interesting life! We’re so lucky to have had him for so long!” But it still sucks. I miss him. Thank you for sharing your feelings with us.
I think I speak for all of us when I say we absolutely loved your grandma. She was amazing, just from the little bit we saw, and hearing you talk about her, she sounds like anyone would have been lucky to know her. I'm sorry you're going through this. Please allow yourself to grieve and feel your feelings. We love you, and I'm grateful that you felt comfortable to be vulnerable like this with us. You know we are all here for you.
Drew I’m so so sorry. Your grandma was an amazing, beautiful woman. She’ll be greatly missed by many of us 💕
Literally shed tears starting at 20:00. What a great video capturing what a bright, hilarious energetic soul this woman was . May her rest in peace and may your soul heal Drew. She's in a wonderful place now telling you how much she loves you every minute of every day. 💖
Was already crying before I even saw u posted this, clicked on it immediately and started crying harder. Your grandma will always be in our hearts thanks to you for introducing us to her. Thank you for letting us get to know her a little. We loved her. You’re a very real and honest and beautiful person Drew and we appreciate and love you so much. Please Take good care of yourself ❤
You’ve immortalized her in a beautiful beautiful way drew. Thank you for sharing her light with us ❤️
the “excuse me?” after “i used to be a nudist”, my GOSH
this woman was and will always be a treasure drew, and everything you feel is valid. we love you!! and so does your grandma!! so much!!!
My grandfather was unconscious and snoring a lot when he was on hospice, but my family and I would still talk to him and had normal conversations because we were sure he could hear us. When I had told him I loved him for the last time, he had skipped a snore… I would like to think that was his way of telling me he loved me too. Thank you Drew for sharing this video, it’s really important.
When I saw the video title, I immediately knew who it was about. I am sorry for your loss, Drew. She was a lovely lady, and it was always a joy to see her pop up in your videos. RIP Dorothy 🕊
Losing someone with unconditional love for you is one of the hardest things to go through. So sorry for your loss
When you said “I don’t think I’ll have a more meaningful dinner” I lost it. My grandma was very special and close to me too and I miss her much. I understand ❤
Update: I’m sobbing. Thank you for being vulnerable with us.
Same. My grandma was also one of my best friends. Its an unreal bond
I don’t care at what age this happens, it’s never easy. The longer they’re around, the greater the bond! I always thought of her as a bff to you and she’s wonderful to get to know through your channel. Thank you for having her here and thank you for sharing this moment the way you have. It’s relatable yet lighthearted (not that it has to be).
we're so privileged that you shared grandma dorothy with all of us. she really was a kind and interesting and beautiful person, and the world feels a little bit empty today.
Drew is so wise and introspective. Within the first 5 minutes, I’d already laughed hysterically and cried very hard. Drew if you see this, thank you for sharing yourself with the world and bringing everyone so much joy, laughter, and relatability. I cry because I understand how you feel and i hope you find some peace and relief in your life ❤.
He's a king and a jester
Drew nobody should tell you how to grieve. I lost my sister 2017, my mother 2021, my father 2022 and my dog in 2023. It hurts no matter what age someone is. I'm sorry for your loss Drew.
I hope youre okay. Sending love xxx
I'm so sorry for what you had to go through. So many losses back to back... I can only imagine how that must have felt. I hope you're in a place where you're simultaneously happy and allowed to grieve.
I am so sorry for your losses.
How horrible to lose so many so close together, I hope you're doing well and I hope you continue to persevere and find so much joy in the years to come.
I lost my Dad in 2021 and my Mom in 2023. I'm so sorry to hear of all your losses too. Feels like the world flipped upside down. Sending big love to you❤
"I love it sweetheart" ooh baby the tears
I lost my grandma last January. And it hasn’t really gotten easier. Your relationship with your grandma reminded me of mine in a lot of ways. My grandma was one of my few “safe” people. How lucky are we to experience that kind of unconditional love? I’m so sorry for your loss, Drew. Your grandma seemed like an absolute joy, and really hilarious. Sending you a lot of love 💖
I’m so sorry Drew. Thank you for letting us get to know her in a weird internet relationship kind of way. She was a queen and I’m grateful you let us experience her incredible personality. It was so evident how much you both meant to each other. This video is an amazing tribute.
Eternity wouldn’t feel long enough for the people you love. Remind yourself that it’s okay to be sad about missing someone you love
hey Drew, im 19 and i just recently lost my Dad back in february. it is so comforting to hear you speak about the parts of grief that many people dont discuss. i also have struggled with misplacing my sadness and becoming irritable about things that have nothing to do with what im actually sad about. sending you lots of love and healing ❤️
My grandma passed away too really recently, and this was a lovely lovely homage to yours. Brought up so many emotions, made me laugh and cry, and miss her all over again. Thank you for making this, she would have laughed, and loved it. I will remember her always too.
Your eloquence about grief is so real and so visible, Drew. I'm sorry to say I understand exactly what you mean; thank you for explaining this very particular type of darkness with such character and respect.
I'm so sorry for your deep, deep loss. Your grandma sounds like she was an amazing person.
Love you so much, your grandma will always be with you! Her memory will always live on YT thanks to her talented grand child 🖤
“If anyone’s going to live to 100”-yes! I thought my Mom was a superhero and it wouldn’t happen to HER. I relate to your video so much. Thank you ❤️ Your grandma is very special-I know there are no words to help. I just want to say I’m sorry for your loss 💖🙏🏻🥺
I'm sorry for your loss. My grandma passed away about a month ago. It still hurts regardless of the age. I miss her too.
I feel weirdly personally affected by this. Your grandma was clearly the coolest grandma ever, and a loss that great is awful to go through. I'm so sorry Drew ♡
Oh Drew, you are truly a gift to the world. Your grandma truly saw you. What an amazing life she had with you.
ive never heard someone perfectly articulate how i feel abt not being able to cry that was insane. so sorry for your loss drew, happy for you for feeling things ❤️
The story about your grandmother making you dinner when she could barely move made me cry. I lost my grandfather to esophageal cancer back in 2012. The last few months of his life, he could barely eat. Anything he did manage to get down usually came back up not too long after. I stayed with him for a few days during the winter holidays, and he would make me elaborate dinners every night even though he was sick and could not eat himself. Cooking for people is how he showed someone he cared for them. Even 11 years later, it's still really hard for me to reflect back on those last few days I had with him. I miss him every day. There is no timeline for grief, and it never truly goes away. It just becomes slightly more manageable. Your grandmother being 93 and you having lots of time with her doesn't diminish your pain in any way. That is someone that you love very deeply, and it hurts nonetheless. I'm wishing you all the best, Drew. Your grandmother was a funny, and beautiful woman, and from the videos I've seen of her over the years, it was clear to everyone how much adoration and love she had for you. 🩵
Rest in Peace Dorothy 🥺❤️ Thank you for giving her a platform for all of us to love her too.
My stomach dropped. I'm so incredibly sorry, Drew. Thank you very much for introducing us to her. Watching you guys interact was always a treasure. A million hugs. ❤
Same. When I saw the title I was "oh no". She seemed like such a lovely lady and will be missed.
There is no time limit on sadness. My grandma died long ago and I still get sad and miss her. I really loved watching your Grandma. She was a fun lady. Thank you for sharing this with us. I will pray for peace for you.
RIP Dorothy. A loss like that hits so deep but be gentle with yourself and feel all the feels even the angry ones. Even 100 years wouldn’t be enough years ❤
Everyone’s experience with grief is unique, don’t feel shame for taking it so hard even though she was 93. Her being 93 doesn’t make losing her any less painful for you and everybody else that loved her. Thank you for sharing, your grandma was awesome 🩵
Yeah I didn't see my grandparents that much because I lived in another country during my teenage to adult life. When they passed away, I didn't really feel any sadness... Just kind of nonchalant about it and I feel ashamed and guilty about that honestly.
The meat thermometer and trusting grandma's cooking hit me really hard. It's like we are forced to be adults and do the best we can but it's nice to have someone who you can just be with and feel "little" again. It's a very comforting, safe space. Your grandma was so lovely and she will always be with you, Drew 💜 Thankful we got to be a part of something that made her so happy and so proud of you.
I lost my grandmother last year. We were also very close. You’re saying out loud every thought that has gone through my mind since the day it happened. Thank you for this. I feel like grief never really goes away, but in my case I was grieving pretty heavily for like a year and I felt so guilty about it like because she was in her 70’s I wasn’t allowed to or that people would judge me. But we’re allowed to grieve and be sad. Lots of love, Drew
Can’t explain how deeply this hurt me. You’re so valid Drew. It’s going to be hard. Nothing but love. I’ve been here since 2014 and I loved all your videos with her.
Your grandmother was genuinely an icon. She made me less scared about getting older and her personality shone through every video you made together. She will always be a dazzling star and I have no doubt she is liking and sharing this video from the great beyond 🧡
Dorothy was such a light in this world. She was my favorite mytoecold-er. The best collabs on RUclips, truly. I'm so SO sorry for your loss.
This saddens me so much I feel the feels because I lost my son a few years back. You really explained her and your relationship well and I loved when she was on your videos. Sending you love. Don’t let anyone tell you how to grieve and how long. It’s been 11 yrs. I’m still grieving
That was a really touching tribute, Drew. I am sorry for your loss. I am one of the million+ who saw her videos
I just lost my dad to cancer a month ago and this video couldn’t have hit more to home. Sending love to you and your family, Drew. Be patient and kind with yourself. It’s definitely a process.
I lost mine to cancer 7 months ago. I am so sorry for your loss. I feel your pain. I hope you have a wonderful support system, it really is a process..a confusing one at times. Sending love and hugs from a total stranger on the internet♥️
So sorry for your loss ❤ I lost my dad to cancer 22 years ago last week. It’s a pain you can really only understand when you go through it. Sending love to you and yours ❤😢
I lost my dad to esophageal cancer 12 days ago. Man it’s stunning. I appreciate the solidarity your comment has given me ❤
Sending love to everyone on this post 💕💕🙏
My father passed away 92 days ago today from lung cancer 😔 Sending condolences to everyone in this post ❤
You can tell she’d never judge anyone for anything. Her videos made everyone so happy. Thank you for giving her the platform to show millions of people that kind of love ❤️
thousands and thousands of people are grieving grams with you drew. thank you for sharing her light and smiles with us over the years :) she is truly a legend and always will be!
I loved watching those video clips of your grandma, what a light. I just lost my grandma and felt like watching this video again would be a comfort. It was.
Your grandma will be missed by many. She had such a spunky, sweet personality. It’s so great you have all of these videos to remember her by ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss, Drew. She was a wonderful human who brought so much love into the world, and we were all honored to get even a taste of it.
My grandma died a year ago today, and you have encapsulated the feelings so well. I’m greedy too! I haven’t dealt with it yet, absolutely definitely in denial still, but this video got me to both laugh and cry at the same time. I think the way you’ve expressed this is beautiful. I hope you’re doing as well as you can be in these circumstances. Thank you for this video, it’s made me feel less alone
I was so angry and sad when my grandma died. Im crying watching this, especially when you said she was repeating “ I love you sweetheart “ You literally feel your heart sink into your stomach. It’s ok to feel sad as long as you need to. Feeling the emptiness in the room is so hard. I felt so honored to have her in my life even seeing her through the hard times and I’m sure you feel the same . ❤❤❤
i was 20 seconds in and i already recognized the room and started crying, yes she was 93 but you have every rhyme and reason to be sad. if someone like me that doesn’t even actually know her is crying- i don’t even have to finish you get what i’m saying. i love you drew and no matter if you feel numb or not i send all my love to you
I feel honored to have been able to experience her in some small way in your videos over the years. She seemed like such a genuine and interesting person and she will be sorely missed. Rest in peace and power!
I came back to watching this because my Grandma passed a few hours ago.
We were very close and she was so interesting and kind and an artist and I loved to just be near here. I miss her so much. I saw a lot of my grandma in yours and hearing your thoughts helps me thank you.
I’m so sorry for your loss, thank you for sharing ❤
@@Jadesmorot that really really means a lot thank you
No matter how old someone is when they pass, the grief of losing someone you love is unexplainable. It's been 8 years since my uncle and grandpa passed and I am still healing. It destroyed my family but together we held onto eachother and held eachother up. Spend time with the people you love and the people who make you happy. Take your time Drew. We all support you.
Keep healing, then 💐
I lost my 87 and 92 year old grandparents within two days of each other last year. Thank you for talking about how special your bond was with your grandmother and how it isn’t easy to grieve “just because someone passed when they were old”. When you love someone you love them forever.
I’m o ppl loopooo😊p
This made me cry. I’m gonna call my grandma. Thank you for sharing her with us, Drew.
I avoided watching this video because I almost expected it was about her after watching you so many years. As soon as you said I’m in that persons house I broke. The way you articulated death and pain and hurt. It was powerful. My cousin just lost her nana and when she didn’t cry her brother (half brother) told her she was hard for not crying and how dare her after she seen her suffering. I never seen it as a sign of being hard. I think this video will not only help her but help people who don’t understand ways of grieving. She loves everyone so much. I’m sure your grandmas out there but she’s too busy haunting your enemies. I’m joking see you got me trying to be funny. love you drew
As someone who grew up without grandparents, I very much loved watching your collabs with her. May she rest in peace.
my grandpa just died and it’s actually kind of insane how similar our situations seem right now. sometimes in this video i felt like i was listening to an outside source explaining exactly what just happened in my own life. so, if nothing else, just know you have strangers out here who relate to you and you guys’ relationship more than you’ll ever know :)
rip to those that people have lost and happy healing my friends.
Literally just left a comment saying the same thing! Happy Healing to you too, insane how many of us strangers can relate and connect. Fells nice not to be alone
Mine passed a month ago. She was also 93 I think, incredibly bright, witty and caring. I was lucky in that I managed to process her passing fairly smoothly, but this video hit hard. Sending so much love to you all who have experienced a loss recently.
ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ hugs for all of u
I lost my grandma last year and I feel like I’ve been needing this video for a long time
So sorry Drew😔 I lost my grandmother a few years ago and it still hurts so much❤️ sending love
how timely. i just lost my dad literally 20 days ago. i’m not even in my mid twenties yet and he’s gone. he was my best friend and hero. it sucks. it really really sucks. i know the whole “you’re not alone!” thing isn’t gonna make things magically better. but my heart does go out to you. you and i are so lucky to have known such amazing, loving people. and they were lucky to have us
edit: I wish I could respond to everyone, but thank you all for your kind words! I expected this to get drowned out by all the other comments so I was surprised to get replies. anyway, cheers, thanks everybody ♥️
i am so sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss...
I lost my mom on the 3rd.. I'm 27. I'm sorry for your loss. It's not possible to put into words what it feels like to lose a close family member.
I'm here to tell you that I totally understand and I'm trully sorry for your loss. I lost my dad last year while being 23. It suck but I can tell you sad feelings become happy memories ❤
this happened to me last year. i was 22. i feel this almost exactly
When my grandmother died, people would say the same thing, “you’re so lucky you had so much time with her.” Like I’m happy I did, but I want more. I felt very much like you felt. I’m sorry for your loss. This was a great video.
People are so bad at comforting others. I try to be empathetic because it’s just a human thing, we’re all just trying our best. But still, it’s so frustrating in the moment
@@eveningpianoI think sometimes it comes from the fact that they had so much less time with a loved one. A lot of people lose their grandparents at a young age,so when they hear late 80s or 90s, they just think “wow, they had such a long life, you’re so lucky you’ve had em as long as you did”….& I think most people mean it in a genuine, positive way.
I’ve been playing your videos on repeat the past few days. Literally all day long and even while falling asleep. The talking and a lot of the subject matter are comforting while my depression is really… in the danger zone. So I’ve listened to this video multiple times already but today I happened to also be watching at the salmon part and it brought me to tears. It really captured that silence felt when someone you love is no longer there. Dorothy seems like a very cool lady and it makes me happy that you two brought so much love into each other’s lives.
you and your grandmas relationship was so fun watching over the years, sending virtual hugs to you!
She would have loved this video! This was a wonderful tribute to her. I’m so sorry for your loss, she will truly be missed by so many!
we are so honored to have known her, even if only through a screen. thank you so much drew 🖤
Im sorry for your loss, Drew. Its never easy losing someone you love
I've never experienced equal amounts laughing anc crying in a video. Thank you for sharing Drew.
Your grandma was a legend. And I’ve been dealing with a bunch of complicated grief lately so this was so needed. Thank you for making this.
I just finished the video and literally hearing her voice made me sob. She was a special soul.
As someone who’s grandparent also passed away this year (causing me to relapse every single day until May, only because i ran out of money) thank you for sharing this. They live in our memory now and would want us to be present.
I feel It is so hard.
sorry for your loss stay strong!
you and your grandma had so much fun and love between you - I hope all of your memories with her bring you peace during this time Drew 💞💞
I'm SO sorry, Drew! I'm in tears right now. I loved seeing her with you, she always made me smile! I understand how difficult it is to lose a Grandma (I lost mine over 20 years ago and I still cry ). My heart goes out to you! I'll be praying for you and your family! May God rest your Nana's Soul. ❤
I’ve been avoiding videos about death for years since my grandparents died and this is the first one I’ve been able to watch, thank you so much drew for opening up to us, and thank you Drew’s grandmother for being so amazing ❤️❤️
You’re so good at articulating your feelings itn a way I can understand it’s so helpful for us all in similar situations and with similar brains
proud of you for healing. you’re amazing. sending love
hey drew, i have to say this was the hardest watch ive ever done. my nana died last year, and i feel like i never really truly greived because she was very ill with dementia. but this video really brings back these conversations i would have with her. i would show her things that were popular at the time like stupid meme videos and stuff, and she was always engaged and would laugh. and to me, i really felt like she believed in me. i showed her the art and animation i did sometimes, but mostly when i saw her i would just hang out with her. it was so hard when she went to a care home. i couldnt see her as much anymore and i wish she knew how hard i was trying to make her and my family proud. i hate covid for taking away my last years with her. we used to go to the garden center all the time and it was so fun. she had this amazing sense of humour despite her dementia. i remember there was one bit full of foutains and i would always try to trick her into putting her finger into the spout and it was so much fun for us. it was so silly and stupid. i felt like even when she was close to gone, i at least hoped that while i was away at university that she would be proud of me. and i really think she is.
She is absolutely so proud of you, don’t even doubt that for a second!
This was genuinely so sweet to read. Ur granny was lucky to have u ! Hearts !!!!!
i'm so sorry for your loss, i lost my granny this year as well and i know yours is so proud of you. thank you for sharing these memories of her
this was a beautiful video and tribute to your grandma, one of the most relatable ways ive heard someone speak about death. I lost my grandma a little over a year ago, and there is no shame to be had for wishing you guys had more time, no matter how old she was, it will always be sad and your feelings are always valid. grief changes but it’s always there, which sounds depressing BUT there will be a point where you feel shes “in your heart” and you can carry her memory with you with less sadness, and that not being how you feel now is totally okay and normal. i bet she is so proud of you drew and you should be too
Thank you for sharing this. 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
My heart hurts for you drew. Your grandma was a magical woman and saw you for who you are. I’m sorry she is gone.
