Tides of Time Friends and Family Concert
I had a performance and Meggie came to support me. She took a photo with me and wrote “I’m best friends with the lead singer,” and captioned it “She’s kind of a big deal.”

Happy birthday, Mom.

Family enjoying Cookie Cats again
I am so glad my family can enjoy Steven Universe stuff with me, including Cookie Cats that we made ourselves!

Dedication Day
Our mom’s dedication was today. We went out on a boat and watched her reef ball be added to the reef project. We saw dolphins! And we also decorated a tribute reef with flowers and said our final goodbyes to our mom. And we got boba after.
Dolphins!

After Viewing Day
We stayed over in Sarasota at my dad’s house after our mom’s viewing and had some yummy food at a restaurant (Ash was overwhelmed by a waffle!) and then they spent some time swimming and we even got to play Cards Against Humanity (family edition).

Viewing Day
We got to come see Mom’s reef ball with the completed collar and the “pearl” inside which contained her ashes. We made rubbings of the plaque for ourselves and our mom’s siblings.

First Cookie Cats
And my family got to have their first Cookie Cats! No wonder Steven Universe likes them so much–now they know why 🙂

Angel Food Cake
Our mom often made angel food cake for us for our birthdays. Her birthday is coming up so we made an angel food cake in her honor! All three of us worked on it.
