Dear Autumn

80.

Dear Autumn,
It's nice to have you here again
The coldness of your breath
The brightness of your falling leaves
So magical in their death

Dear Autumn,
You weep your tears so publicly
For all of us to feel
Although we frown at naked trees  
We wish for you to heal

Dear Autumn,
The pink skies that you wake us with
May be a shepherds warning
I ask you with hasted breath 
Please keep them to bring the dawn in

Dear Autumn,
As we say goodbye to your sister summer
With rain and clouds and sometimes thunder 
We welcome you with warmth and laughter 
With the blankets to fill our families under

Dear Autumn,
You bring us closer to the end of the year 
Our days past with love and fear
As we reflect to see how far we've come
I'll enjoy you Autumn, you're my favourite one

    Dear Beth.
    We have exchanged some conversation before. I just want to say "What a lovely young woman you are".
    You and your family have suffered at the expense of your Dads disease, MND is a terrible disease for any one to have to suffer. I think that through your 'Utube video, and your sweet poems you have coped very well. Your video and your poetry will help others to cope as well, of that I am sure.
    I'm sure others will join my sentiments when I say "Thank you Beth you're a star xx

      Hi, thank you for your kind words, I wish I knew who you were so I could message you or something.
      My main aim in life is to help others with whatever I can. Xx

End of an era

 10 years...10 long but very fast years!! Okay, I admit, I'm late to the 10 year blog anniversary, like 7 months late haha but I've been busy. I can't quite believe I started writing on here over 10 years ago. About my Dad, who has now been gone 10 years as of only a few days ago! Which is mental. This pocket of space helped me a lot back then, and it continued to help a little while after but it's definitely time for me to say goodbye to this space now. It served me well back then, but like we all do, I've grown and found other things now that suit me better. You see, I couldn't express in real life how I felt back then, what I was dealing with watching my Dad with MND. So this was my voice. Then I realised oh wow I can say a lot of things here that I can't express due to fear or embarrassment and general learning things about myself etc. Who knew writing a few words on a few posts could help heal so many broken pieces. I'll always be pretty grateful fo...

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...
