Rest In Peace Nan

I don't normally blog about personal stuff on this blog, but I think in this instance I need to make an exception as it is something rather significant really.

I've been quiet and not online much this week as I found out Tuesday my nan had been taken into hospital with congestive cardiac failure.

I was able (thanks to the wonderful kindness of a dear friend) to go down last night and visit her for a few hours and I'm very glad I got the chance to.

I got the call I've dreaded all these years from my father just now, that my nan had slipped away peacefully. She was 86.

She was a huge part of my life, the one person I could always count on to be able to turn to no matter the problem or even just for a chat. We always had a good laugh together, and with her gone my life feels suddenly hugely empty.

She'd not want me to mope around depressed over her passing too much though, as she wasn't that sort of person, she was very frail and weak towards the end, but prior to that she was always a strong woman, willing to speak her mind and really was the matriarch of our family.

Rest in Peace nan, you'll always be remembered with a smile, hope you're happy with granddad now somewhere nice and peaceful. Thanks for all the years of fun, laughs and support you always gave me, even when others turned their back on me.

Thanks for your words of sympathy.

I miss my nan immensely still, and it was difficult recently with the 1st anniversary of her passing.

However, I'm consoled by the fact that I've not a single bad memory of her, which says a lot about the type of person she was and how important she was to me.
