Two weeks ago, I lost my grandfather.

I still have a hard time with the reality that he has left this earth. In my mind, he was going to live forever. Grandpa Chuck was a true beacon of light for my family. A beautiful soul, an outdoors man, a storyteller, a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. I will miss him dearly, but find comfort in knowing that his legacy of making sure you “show-up” and “stay-hitched” will live on.

I headed home to Kansas City on a Friday to say goodbye to him at the hospice center. In the back of my mind I was expecting a room full of mourning or regret, but in fact, it was quite the opposite. As a family, almost thirty of us, gathered around his bedside to cry, to laugh, but more importantly, to celebrate a life that started it all.

But it wasn’t until my grandmother entered the room to sit by his bedside to hold his hand, and comfort him that I fully understood what true love was. After 60 years of marriage, their love was stronger than ever, even at the moment of death.

So, since this is the month of love, take a moment and hug and kiss, and make a big batch of these dark chocolate heart scones, and tell your loved ones they mean the world to you. Because like my grandmother says, “Being loved by someone gives you strength, loving someone gives you courage.”
