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

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...

This fat chick's gotta get fit!!

18. My loves, I have something to share with you... First of all I'm listening to You Me At Six - Room To Breathe and I can't believe how different they look and kinda sound! I like it though. Weird how I loved this band back in the day and it's been years since I've heard their stuff, thanks Kerrang for playing them on the radio a bunch of times today :) I'm also listening to a bit of We Are The Ocean, now I've never listened to these before and I kinda like the sound of them, not overly fussed though to be fair.  Right then, as you can see by the title of this blog, I've got to get fit!! After talking to my work colleague/friend Audrey (hi Audrey if you're reading this) on Monday and Tuesday I have decided to enter the Run For All 10K in Hull on the 14th June 2015...I know what you are thinking, I won't do it but please, please believe in me, please support me. I've told 4 people so far and the reactions weren't fantastic, in fact the...

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...
