Walk to defeat MND

60.

Good evening loves, how are you? I'm good thank you, I'm currently sat here with wet hair listening to a song I heard on Catfish The TV Show, its called Over by a band called Johnnyswim, it's a bit depressing really but nice at the same time. I know I'm weird and I have weird taste in music but oh well in the words of Shirley Bassey I am who I am.

I wanted to write to you today to tell you about the walk I did yesterday (Sunday) myself and others from work plus Rob and our friend, we all joined in with the Humber Bridge Walk, some of you may remember we did this walk last year and it was great. This time was no different, it was fabtab!!

I loved seeing the sea of blue everyone was in, I've never liked the colour more!! Oh loves I wish we could all get together and walk it together, or walk something greater that would be pretty lovely!



There we are look :) doing our bit. There were a lot of people there, lots of children and dogs. It felt like a proper community getting together all in aid of fighting this god awful disease. Everyone there had this one thing in common, we were all in some way linked by MND. I found myself thinking about how amazing and incredibly strong those living with MND are. Seeing their strength as they walked over that bridge was truly inspirational. 

I remember last year when we walked it Dad really wanted to join us but I told him no because I thought it would have been too stressing for him. This time around I really wanted him by my side. I shouldn't have turned him down last year but it was the right thing to do...I walked over the bridge with Audrey and Andy, we got talking about how fast it all has happened and how its hard to think that it all has happened. It feels like a complete blur now, I reckon I must have been on autopilot for the majority of those 18/19 months. We talked about how his passing was a physical pain I felt, I felt this emptiness in my chest it was weird and before he passed away in the same spot in my chest I had a constant pain (I went to the drs about it because it wouldn't go) but when he passed away that pain turned into the emptiness almost immediately. It's so strange how your body can react to stress and grief. I talked about a person who is a stranger really, was one of the biggest support systems I had in those last 9 nine days, and how incredibly thankful I will always be to that person. I hope that one day I can be a support to someone I don't know in a difficult time in their life. 

It's strange how one walk can make you think and realise so much. It's strange how much has changed in not even a year! 


Thumbs up my loves! Hopefully you will join me on the next one. We can turn the paths of the Humber Bridge BLUE!!! I hope for more events in this area in the future, I hope to see more and more people get together to fight, I hope to see an end to MND one day and that can only happen with more fundraisers, more donations, more awareness, basically more of everything!!

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...

Arsenal, Tears and Happiness!

26. We meet again my loves, how ya diddling? I'm good, I have two weeks off work now :D nothing major is planned...oh wait HARRY POTTER STUDIOS and bonfire night, I love bonfire night, the magic of the fireworks and sparklers is just so beautiful. I will definitely try and get some pictures of the fireworks and sparklers of the bonfire I'm planning on going too.  Is it just in the UK we celebrate bonfire night?  I'm currently listening Marmozets - Captivate You, I've heard this band quite a lot on Kerrang radio and just love this song, it gets me bouncing around in my seat. I downloaded their album and it's pretty belting I have to say! It was on repeat everyday this past week on the bus, a definite boost before work.  I don't know if I told you guys that my Dads best friend, Steve, contacted Arsenal (my Dad is obsessed) and explained his situation and how much he loves the team and always has done, and they wrote him back to say they would send Dad...

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...
