Giving flowers. Happy 68th birthday to my big brother Graylin! Loved witnessing how much he’s adored by his friends/co workers from Home Depot! 33 years, and not missing a day until cancer. Hearing their stories about their friend/pal made my heart even prouder. He’s a light. A non “slacker” regardless of the life he was gifted. So happy his baseball bash was a home run!
⚾️♥️ I feel such peace seeing his smile. Miss him already…. Wishing him all the peace he gives to others and more. blessed ♥️🙏🏽

Tell me your thoughts… and I have the vision. “A little storm is coming…” like in 5 weeks! Congrats to the mommy to be and hubby. Momma is a pilot so she knows something about the “skies the limit”. Special thanks to my girl Arianna Shaghaghi “little miss Oscar” for designing our fruit towers and Brie “clouds” and Bergen Greens for pulling up with the most gorgeous edible flowers “mostly white” that I needed for my 20 minute ! Haven’t made one of these in over four years and it was so appreciated! And the cake! Well, let just say it was “lit”. 🌩️🌪️👼☁️
