Goodbye Grandma.. I love you.

This is going to be an emo post so if you do not want to read it please either scroll down or come back in a few days. Emo beginning now:

Today is a very sad day in my life. Today at 0445 my Grandmother passed away. She was the last of my Grandparents and out lived her Husband (my grandfather) by over 13 years. I loved her dearly. She has been in my life for as long as I can remember and has always been kind, loving and fun. Some of my earliest memories involve my grandparents and I hope those memories will never fade. She was 97 and lived a filling life. A life that was full of joy and happiness.

I owe a lot to my grandmother. She gave me the passion for travel that I now have. Without her I would not be the person I am today. It was because of her that I travelled to disneyland when I was 13, Then to Mt Isa, Ayers Rock, Longreach, Melbourne, Kangaroo Island, Adelaide, Tasmania, Canberra and of course Sydney. I can remember as a child always going to Sydney to visit my grandparents. This probably helped feed this passion for travel. Without that passion I would not be the person I am now or be doing the job I am now, in that I owe her a lot.

I intend on travelling more in life now, I am already planning on going to the USA and to Canada something I know she would of wanted. For the rest of my life I will be happy whenever I travel as I know that is a joy in life she has given me.

I do not regret not seeing her in hospital, I feel that it would of made today a lot harder seeing her the way she was. What I do regret is not being able to show her the photos of my last trip, seeing the joy in her eyes of some of the places she has been.

I will remember her for the rest of my life. Grandma… I love you.

For all of those people out there who wish to send any emails to me to wish me well please do and I will pass your love and well wishes onto my family as well. Thank you to all those that have put up with my moodiness lately.

I will try and get back to normal as soon as possible. For those that want to know the Funeral will be on Monday the 24th of July. For more details please email me.

Thank you.
