I said I wanted to say something today, because Nanna and everyone else for that matter, would always say I talk a lot and I’m loud etc, which is so true, and is why I should say goodbye, talking.
If Bowie, Prince, Carrie Fisher or George Michael wasn’t enough, 2016 took someone else. Someone who meant so much to me, someone who meant a lot more to us all.
To you, she might have been a friend, or a mum, and nothing but a great one. But to us 2 and the 4 girls down the front, she was our Nan. I always felt she never enjoyed being in her wheelchair, but I always thought it wasn’t any different to how she use to be before. If fact it made her fun and interesting, definitely provided us a few stories to tell for many years. You can’t take her wheelchair and do races down the road at street parties if she was never in a wheelchair in the first place. To me the thing that is weird the most is, we might not have seen you every week, and definitely not enough as we should of, and that’s a regret of mine, but to now not see you again at all, doesn’t sit right, feels painful. And as the oldest grandchild to have never lose someone, and to have all the memories, to be old enough to realise how much loosing someone really hurts. Nanna you have been an incredible part of my life, your someone I always looked up too, inspired me, supported me climbing Snowdon and going to Nepal, all the things you done, backed me to be successful in the theatre industry and we would see shows together, even if the wheelchair seats in Phantom are really awful and I couldn’t see a thing, but 16 years you have brought so much joy to me, and thank you. Love you lots, Slept tight.
