This one’s for you, Grandma.
She’s the reason BelleMark exists. The name is her, and so is everything it stands for. Hard Work, Heart, Rural Roots, and Showing Up.
She spent her life on the farm and never made a big deal of it. She just did the work, day after day, with a kind of quiet grit I’m still chasing. She loved her people by showing up for them, and watching her do that shaped me more than she ever knew.
That’s the part that sits heavy. I never told her. Not really, not out loud, not the way I should have. Her health slipped faster than any of us were ready for, and the good days were gone in a blink.
So now I carry her with me. Her love, in her writing, right where I can see it as a daily reminder to do this work with the same heart she put into everything.
Love, always. 🖤
