I can't believe it's been
four months since I last wrote. I
promised I wouldn't let it go this far without updating you all, (those who
don't have FB, Instagram etc anyway!) but life seems to have buzzed on by &
I haven't written a thing.
I literally have had so
much go on recently I just don't know where to start - I'll keep it brief so
you don't nod off!
One of my best friends
wed. My baby brother got himself married in June to his fiancé Danielle down in
Cornwall. Our family grew by one, introducing our baby
'Bear' into the ranks, a Pied French Bulldog. Stefan turned 28, we celebrated
our sixth wedding anniversary - I turned 34 & have just recently celebrated
FIVE whole years with my lungs by throwing the most amazing bash!!
It has been the most
amazing whirlwind of social, stressful events in my life but worth every
second!! I literally can't thank everyone enough for all the effort they have
put into. Whether it be messages or visits of support, coming along to the
party in July or silent thoughts in a few seconds of their day.
The Seven Stars Hotel were
outstanding with my needs for the party, Laura in particular I can't thank
enough, nothing was too much trouble. Simply Celebrations & Riviera Mascots
for helping me with very important 'props' for the night, Ross who kept the
music playing & played every single song requested! Claire from Mad Cakes,
who made the most amazing cake I think I will ever likely to see or eat !!
&.... Razzamatazz Theatre School from Torquay, who's students & staff very kindly
helped me put on some very special, unexpected entertainment with the Joker
& Batman, and a very unique appearance from Wonder Woman ;) I will never
forget the night, the people that turned up, even if I just caught a glimpse of
you (I wasn't drinking so I know you were there!) the effort you put into just
to come & see me was something I will never ever forget. Thank you so much
..................
The party was so spectacular
that I even made the local press with a lovely piece written by Anita, and again
this week, (hopefully to be printed on Wednesday) a follow up piece on an
amazing fundraising campaign my sister has started for me to raise some money
for holiday insurance.
I have wanted to have a
little break for so long. Before I got so poorly I loved having a little
holiday here & there, but the last time I went away was our honeymoon, just
before I was listed on the transplant list. America has always been one of my dream places to visit, especially
with all my favourites I'm into, Superheroes, Nightmare Before Christmas etc!
We always said we would try to go so Lauren looked into a four day break for us
both, it looks do-able if we both save like mad for the trip, but then she
looked into my medical insurance & it was more than the actual trip! I
wrote it off, like I have many an idea about breaks in the past...
But to my surprise, my
sister has started a campaign to try & help pay for the medical insurance I
need to be able to go away. 'Fairytale In New York!'
Everyone has been so so kind, I am totally
overwhelmed & really don't have the words to put into just how much it
means to me - From the bottom of my heart again, thank you!!!
I could shit on about
turning 34 & just how have much I have cried recently about still being
alive, but I want to keep this one brief, I think the newspaper articles pretty
much say it for me so I'll end it here & add some piccies - but I promise
you I will update more regularly from now on.... Please do keep in touch &
say hi once in a while, I really do appreciate every single person that reads
this blog & likes my posts. Your support is never taken for granted, love
you all so much!!!!!
