... Read moreLosing someone dear is never easy, and it often brings a sudden awareness of how fragile and unpredictable life can be. The message "granny you were just here. tomorrow is never promised." deeply resonates with anyone who has experienced unexpected loss. It reminds us that no matter how close or distant, our loved ones’ presence is a gift not guaranteed to last. In my own experience, embracing this mindset has transformed the way I connect with family and friends. I make conscious efforts to express my love and gratitude more openly and live in the present moment, valuing every interaction. This approach helps to ease the grief when loss inevitably occurs because I know I honored and cherished that person while they were here. The hashtags like #death, #rip, and #mamma link this reflection to a larger cultural context, especially within Jamaican society, where family ties and respect for ancestors are deeply embedded traditions. Jamaican TikTok and viral content often explore these themes, showing how younger generations deal with grief and remembrance creatively and emotionally online. Remembering Granny is more than mourning; it’s a celebration of her life and the lessons she imparted. Sharing stories, traditions, and memories keeps her spirit alive and teaches us to live fully—appreciating every moment before it slips away. Whatever your background, the universal truth remains: tomorrow is uncertain, so love fiercely and live with intention today.

Granny Squares for Babies?! 🤪
Someone asked for a breakdown on how to make a granny square. Check out below for abbreviations long worded. CH - chain DC - double crochet SLST - slip stitch One key advice to remember is to always change four at the beginning of the round. And then add your first 3DC in that same stitch.

Crochet Granny Squares! 🧶🪡
Hey, y’all! Here’s 2 different granny square concepts. My personal favorite is the second one, it is a more “closed” sort of square compared to the first. I think it looks cleaner as well. Let me know what you guys think, are you a traditionally girly or basic? 🫶🏻☺️ #crochet #crochetgrannysquar
