My first ever blog!

1.

Hi there you lovely people *waves* so how do I start one of these things? hmm maybe a little introduction? Yeah, sounds good to me :) 

Name - Beth
Age - 23 (soon 24 eek)
Relationship status - Married <3
Location - A large East Yorkshire village that has lots of hairdressers and cafes, standard! 

The first thing you will notice about me is I am ridiculously tall, 6ft 1 tall! I love being tall but it means I have huge feet *sadface* so my desire to wear high heels will never be fulfilled - I once wore a 1 inch heel and a drunk man shouted at me in the street *extrasadface* BUT it's okay because I've developed an undying love for Nike trainers so I shall forever be happy with my huge feet :) 

I have a crazy obsession with giraffes, I just love the tall buggers :D I have a building collection of teddies, ornaments, key chains I even have a cushion and sadly I name them all (I told you it was a crazy obsession) If I don't achieve much in life I will definitely be remembered as the crazy giraffe lady. 

My husband Rob is my best friend! I love that guy unconditionally till the end of time. The day after my birthday will be our 6 year anniversary, and I hope we will have many many more years of happiness together. He doesn't like my love for giraffes though...fool! :D

Currently in my life myself and my family are going through a very difficult period. Last year my dad was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, a disease that attacks the central nervous system causing muscles to weaken and basically waste away leaving that person to struggle with day to day live and eventually unable to care for themselves. It has to be one of the worst things I have seen someone go through and I don't believe anyone could understand what it is like. As family members we struggle emotionally to see the person we love struggle, I could never imagine how my dad feels being the one with it. 
It breaks my heart talking to people online who have also been through this/have gone through it, they are all strangers but we are all connected, we can all feel the other persons feelings when they are finding it hard. I can't thank the number of people who have replied to my messages with encouraging words and pure kindness. Thank you <3 

I need your help to get me out there experiencing amazing things!!! I want to get a bucketlist together and try my darnedest to do them. I'm letting anxiety and fear control my life and I need to fight back and throw two fingers up to it, but lets start small okay? No running before I walk :D 

In my future blogs, I will try and do weekly uploads just to update you on things I have done, things I'm planning on doing etc etc. 
I will update you on my Dad and how I'm feeling with it all. 

 Much love
Beth x

In difficulty there is strength and laughter

53. Hello my loves... This may seem like a very strange time, some may think I shouldn't write at all right now but as I'm just sat here, waiting, I feel I should (plus I've been given permission from my sister Kellie and Rob) On Wednesday 4th February, which seems like a lifetime ago, I got a phone call to say things with Dad had took a turn and we all needed to get to the home as time was looking short. I can't explain the fear that was going through me. The panic was so strong I was physically shaking until i got to the home to see him.  I had no idea what to expect, what had happened or what was going to happen, I just had to go with it. I guess we all do when faced with these extremes.  I have to admit I was pretty shocked to see that once the sedation had worn off he was back to his smiley self, even dancing along to the music.  But we knew it was serious when they said he was now completely nill by mouth, no food, no liquid.  An influx of...

My letter to MND

22. Dear you, I want to start off by saying I don't like you. From the day we have met all you have done is cause pain, you have caused misery! That is all you do for everyone you meet. You find them at their best and demolish their whole being. You break them down to the point where there is no fight left, but they will fight you until the very end knowing they will never win. One day they will win, one day we will all break YOU down so you're not here any more. None of us like you, but you bring us all closer together. You make us realise that we can't go on just floating by, you make us realise that time is the most precious thing any one in the world has got! And with that precious time we have to make as many wonderful memories possible, we have to tackle all the hurdles you throw at us so that you know we will stick together and fight you. I have the displeasure of knowing you, so many others have the displeasure of living  with you. For those I can't i...

This may upset you...

50. Hello my loves. WOW we've made it to the fiftieth blog post, if you're reading this one and you've read all of the ones before, thank you for sticking with me and my public diary entries. If you are new to my posts then Hello and welcome to my life, my little world of, well, I'm not to sure...this. I'm listening and watching Sia - Elastic Heart, I absolutely love this song and I love the video! It's so incredibly powerful , I watch it without knowing what it is that is keeping me so drawn to it (maybe Shia's body...) but seriously please go and watch it, don't read the comments of the video if it's the first time you're watching it and let me know what you believe it is portraying. I won't tell you what I believe because I don't want my view to alter what you may initially feel.      I feel like it might be a good time to update you guys on my Dad. By the way, everything I write is solely my feelings and from my point of vie...
