Sis this is so beautiful. Your heart and love for your grandma is so palpable in your writing. It’s also full of so much energy and excitement about the experience. It was truly a joy to read 😍🥹 Thank you for sharing it with me.

“I also hope this inspires you to create memories like these with your loved ones!”

It did for me!

And the pic of Mama in the water after pushing herself to submerging the water?! 🥹🥹🥹 Plus how quickly this experience impacted her and how she continued to interact for the rest of the trip was sooo so inspiring. You did push her out of her nest. What a treasure to have been able to do that for your mom 🥹🥹🥹

OMG, that was a beautiful story. I'm so glad you & Ms. Liz were able to spend that precious time together in international water..I can see her nervousness about getting in the water, so when I seen she was in chest high, I was like GO Ms LIZ,...🤗

Yes, Ms Liz will go off on her own, she has lost me several times...lol and she will talk to everyone and I love that about her..this story inspires me to write to my future grandchildren, I loved it, thanks for sharing

Don't get me in my feelings with how impactful and wonderful you taking your mother on her first international trip is. Jasmine, oh what beautiful love for your family and how you show it. I love the idea of you writing your mother a letter to reflect back to her her "firsts" on that trip. Great idea. Also, are you and your mother not twins!? Your mother's smile and photogenic energy is radiant and I love these mother/daughter memories you two are creating - I know they will be lifelong memories. Thanks for sharing this journey with us and personally challenging me to think of ways that I can show more love and reverence for my own family. Much love, Jasmine.

P.S. I believe Abuela WAS with and experiencing the trip with you and your mother.

I’ll have to share your comments with my mom about how photogenic she is; that will make her day. Me and mom do love our photoshoots 😆 My dad is my twin; I see me and my mom’s resemblance more and more.

Yesss I’m definitely going to write the letter of her “firsts”
