Every week, I have a standing phone call with my Nanna, and it’s the highlight of my week. Her voice melts my heart the moment I hear it. She’s always so encouraging, effortlessly funny, and full of wisdom. Our conversations are a perfect mix of lighthearted laughter and heartfelt seriousness. We cover a wide array of topics, from family memories to random, funny anecdotes, and somehow touch on just about every emotion. No matter how I feel when I start the call, by the time we hang up, I’m completely recharged.

Talking to my Nanna is truly a mood booster. Even my husband notices the shift in my mood when I finish one of our chats. “You’re glowing,” he often says with a smile, and he’s right. There’s something about my weekly talks with her that leaves me feeling reinvigorated, joyful, and even more grounded. It’s a connection I deeply cherish, and I never want to miss these precious moments.

I’m especially looking forward to seeing her in person soon. It’s been almost four months since I moved back to Georgia, and while our phone calls are amazing, nothing beats face-to-face time with her. Sitting together, laughing over tea, or simply soaking in her presence will bring me even more joy. Until then, I’m counting down the days while soaking in the blessings of every call we share.
