Just when I think I can't go on without my dad, I somehow find the strength. Even in the heaviest of moments, when it feels like my chest will cave in from the weight of him being gone, I find it in me to take a deep breath and continue onwards. And I think he’s the one giving me that strength ☀️🦋🪽 And now, thanks to @lovetalla, I have a piece of him with me every day. Y’all know a few months ago, I drove myself crazy, looking for his handwriting and combing through my storage unit, finding what I was looking for. And this is what it was for. This beautiful sun in 14K gold and diamonds with my dad’s handwriting and his fingerprint. The Rise is a reminder to look up, look forward, and look for the sunshine. A reminder that I still have a lot to give this world, and a reminder that I can’t let my sadness consume me. Talla and her team in Austin, helped me submit a records request to get my dad’s fingerprints from Texas DPS. They made it so seamless, did most of the leg work, and made this beautiful piece of my dad that I will have forever. Since I’ve gotten it, I’ve worn it almost every day and it’s brought me comfort and peace at a time when my grief and panic has been overwhelming. The care, detail, and compassion through this experience that Talla has shown will make me a fan and customer for life. Thank you so much lovetalla 🤍 If you’re interested in creating a piece like this for yourself, use code LOVELIZA for a little savings.
