Say Goodbye To The One We Just Lived, Welcome 16

92.

Another year is almost over and we're about to start all over again. Are you excited?
Are you ready for it? Or is there still apart of you wanting to hold onto the year that's just passed us by? 

Looking back what did you set out and achieve? Did all your plans go as planned and work out? Did any milestones happen? There's a lot to think back on isn't there? 





What plans do you have for the year that's about to start? Or do you just want to go with the flow this time around? Whatever it is you have planned, enjoy it. Grasp it close in your heart and run with it. Because the year that's about to start can't be redone until the next. Don't go into a fresh year with regrets, don't go into it with fear. Walk through the gates of 2016 with excitement and determination. This new year is going to be YOUR year. 

Be strong, be proud, be confident. Believe that the person you are is worthy, you deserve happiness, you deserve all the good things. If anything bad happens remain who you are. Being you has got you this far, you will continue on to carry yourself to greatness. To happiness. Just believe in yourself. 

Make friends and push yourself. Nothing is as scary as it seems, sometimes the scary things you think in your mind turn out to be the greatest experiences of your life so don't say no to them. All new experiences will make you grow. 

If 2015 was tough, don't worry, you've made it to its end. It can't hurt you anymore as its all gone by. It's all just a memory, it's now one of life's scars that you can hide. If it was tough it's made you stronger, it's shown you that the most difficult situations you can imagine can be lived through and you can survive. 

Life has a beginning, it has a middle and eventually has an end. We can't remember how it began and we'll never know when it ends. So for us right now we are in the midst of it. It's like a story, and currently we are writing the plots of our lives so please do make it an exciting one. One others want to talk about. 

With the year ending we can say goodbye. 

Goodbye 2015, you proved to be difficult but you showed me who I am. I vow to strengthen myself further whilst living with your neighbour 16.

Much love
B xx

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

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 fa

Our story with MND so far..

6.  These are my feelings and my thoughts, no one else's, just mine. In June 2013 my Dad was dealt the card of Motor Neurone Disease, a horrible disease. MND attacks the central nervous system and causes muscles to weaken and waste away. People with MND have to struggle everyday with activities that wouldn't have affected them before. It can be different with each person but sadly the outcome is always the same, there are no survivors, only true fighters! There is no cure... In some cases of MND the person can also have Frontotemporal Dementia. A less common form of dementia but nevertheless devastating. My Dad also has this... I first realised that something wasn't quite right around January 2013, my dad and I were sat in a cafe and he couldn't open a folded lottery ticket my exact words to him were "can't you use for hands or something" his reply was "no, my hand has got really weak" I asked him to make a fist with his right han
