I just wanted to write a quick post about me and my dad. He was the nicest, sweetest man and the most amazing father I could hope for. He died very suddenly of a brain hemorrhage a week after I started University, and so I only took a two weeks out.
Having my life torn apart when I'd just started my course was so hard, I'd also just moved into a student house and I wanted to join in the fun. Dealing with my mum's grief at the same time was possibly the hardest bit, being in love myself, I can only imagine the pain of loosing someone you have been with for 35 years. I tried so hard not to give up and I'm so glad I didn't.
I just want to say thank you to all my followers here and on twitter who have given me much confidence in myself and work, you make it all worthwhile :)
I'm also very proud of my sisters, brother and my wonderful mum who has done so well, seeing her smile now makes me so so happy ♥ and thank you Mat for helping me through the pain then and now.
