i apologize for my absence. i spent the last week in upstate New York with my family preparing and holding the funeral for my beloved Granny Kitty, who passed away on January 20th. i would like today's post to honor her life, as she was one of the most amazing ladies i've ever known.
My granny believed in me and all her family, and was always encouraging and sharing in our dreams. i felt i could tell her anything without worry of judgment or disdain. she lifted you up when you were down, cracked jokes, made outrageous things up, and would have given you the clothes off her back. unfailingly generous, my granny never hesitated to offer what was hers. i found i could talk to her for hours; she was a fountain of knowledge and interesting things. it's largely because of my granny that i am on the path i'm on today (acting, at least). and i couldn't be more grateful that at the time she passed, she knew i was just beginning to have success in the entertainment industry. i will continue now to work harder than ever and achieve all my goals; and i promise i will honor Granny Kitty when i win my first Oscar!
i wish that she would be able to see me compete in Rio; because she was never doubtful that i would make it to the paralympics. i know that she will be watching and rejoicing with me, though, and with all the rest of the family through our successes. i am so very grateful for having had 25 years (too short) with granny, and i know i will be seeing her again.
