Back in high school, I was lucky enough to take chemistry from my grandpa - he taught high school chemistry for years, and even though he’d changed careers and was selling hearing aides at the time, he made a weekly commute to teach sciences at the academy where my sister and I took classes. He used to tell us - “Always stay excited. Life’s no fun unless you have something you’re excited about.” I treasure his sayings more deeply now than ever, as he passed away earlier this year. Something about this cake beyond its design reminds me of him - I wish he could’ve seen me *freaking out* in the craft store when I found the decorations I was looking for, or heard me flip out all over again when the cake started to come together the way I’d pictured. 😉 Who knows, though.....I’d like to think that maybe he did. ❤️💕 I love you, grandpa, and I heard you. Staying excited. 🤗😉🙌😍❤️ #chemclass #goodmemories #stayexcited #grandpasarethebest (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpucjrZhOzb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zkqln6izpi0s
