Today, I think, is the saddest day of my life. I got the news that I have lost one of the biggest influences in my life. My beautiful, wonderful, amazingly funny, caring, strong, unselfish, invincible, grandmother.
She was 88 years old. I knew this day would come, I had dreaded it coming but it was still a huge shock.
How can she have gone? How can I not have her in my life? How will I fill that gap? She was my confidant, my rock, my listener through good times and bad. She was my friend!
I didn't realize until today how many happy memories we shared, digging our way out of the house when it had snowed so hard, our breakfasts together on a wednesday morning after my hair-raising driving lesson, hearing the sound of my first childs heart beating in my womb. All the sad times too. She was there for me through thick and thin. She believed in me when others didnt. She stood by me when I needed her most. I will miss you so much nan. I love you x
