What a beautiful, terrible, inspiring story. You are as talented with your words as you are your shopping. You are a testament to what an incredible woman your grandmother was. How proud she must be!
Virginia, thank you so much for sharing your story — and how beautifully told. You have so many gifts and offer inspiration to so many, myself included! It’s an honor to watch your growth + success from Northwest Florida. 🤍
When I say, I did NOT see this coming. What a life you have led so far, and continue to lead. This essay is beautiful, your grandmother sounds like the woman so many of us aspire to be. Please write more, publish more, I know I am not the only one who LOVED reading this!!!! And I am so proud and happy that I have your book <3
This is the most moving and inspirational story and so beautifully written. Your grandmother sounds amazing and what you’ve achieved since is outstanding 💫

Thank you so much for sharing. Lots of feelings and food for thought, but I just have to say that your grandmother sounds like an absolute boss.
She was the ultimate ❤️

Congratulations on your success. You deserve it. And here’s to the patina.
