braving it tomorrow and wearing my costume properly without the veil over my midriff. don’t care that i don’t have a perfect body. it looks silly with stupid bronze material sticking out everywhere.

once you’ve gotten over being a melodramatic teenager, it really is rather simple to get on with life

importanceofbeingme:

26th April 2011
this is from very early 1998, around 8 months before my grandad had a stroke, slipped into a coma and died peacefully in his sleep.
little four year old me in the front there, with two year old Toby and 5 month old Rosie in the sling with my 24 year old mother. my first brother and my first sister.
this photograph is significant because my Nannan, the only person in the photograph i haven’t spoken about yet, was diagnosed with the early stages of Alzheimer’s Disease last week. and i’m so scared.
because she is wonderful, and i can’t imagine life without her.
even though she lives almost 100 miles away on the Isle of Wight she is an essential part of my life, and most importantly my childhood. i’m not so scared of her dying. it’s more the concept that one day i could become a stranger to her. and i think that will break my heart.

i’m glad she slipped away before she lost her mind. that would have been so much worse.
