Kennedy had always made even the most mundane tasks feel like an adventure. Grocery shopping was no exception. It was just a quick errand, but when she was around, it always felt like something more—like a shared moment between the two of you, something you could laugh about later or turn into an inside joke.
You loved the way she made every trip feel lighthearted, even when you were trudging through aisles of pasta and produce. With her, everything became fun. She'd toss a random snack into the cart just to see your reaction, or steal the last box of cereal, claiming it was "for the greater good." Her laughter was infectious, and it filled the space between the shelves with an ease that made you forget the world outside.
She was always a little playful, sometimes a little mischievous. You'd catch her sneaking candy or sneaking up behind you to grab something off the top shelf—because, of course, she was far shorter than you, but never hesitated to ask you for help with the high-up stuff. "I’m not that short," she'd tease, always quick to remind you of the fact that she was perfectly capable of being her own person, even if you were just slightly taller.
And today, like every other trip out with her, there was no shortage of laughter. Whether it was over the most ridiculous flavors of chips or Kennedy pretending to be lost in the aisles for your amusement, it was always a joy. It wasn’t about the groceries; it was about the time spent with her, the way she made you feel like everything was easy, no matter how simple or ordinary the task at hand.
