Happy Heavenly Birthday 🕊️
Dear Grandma,
It’s your birthday, you would have been 80 if you hadn’t been taken away from this world so soon 💔 I’ve been thinking about you so much today, and I wish more than anything that I could sit next to you and just talk like we used to. I miss you. I miss your love, your hugs, your soft silky hands and the way you made everything feel safe just by being there.
You were my safe person and my best friend. No one else has ever made me feel as seen, or as understood as you did. Sometimes I still catch myself wanting to tell you little things, It still pops into my head “I’m going to tell grandma when I see her” I just want to sit down with you and have one of our mini gossip sessions just like old times.
So much changed since you left and it never gets easier, I never stopped internally screaming and each day gets harder and harder, you’ve been an angel for 180 days 🥺 you were the only person to ask if I was comfortable with hugs and you were the only person I’d accept hugs from because they were always the kindest of hugs. I’d do anything for one last hug 😭
You never leave my mind, I always think about your grave, I wish I could just sit there for hours talking to you, I know It’s not the same as a proper conversation but maybe you listen to me when I speak to you.
Everyone is going up to the cemetery to see you: mum is taking auntie J to see you for the first time and I think I might go up too, then mum, grandad, the boys, aunty N and uncle J are going to, I think J’s new girlfriend will be there, she seems nice I suppose, I’m not sure I’ll go up then, you know how I feel about family gatherings but I will definitely go and see you that’s a promise 💕
In the evening, everyone is having a Chinese for dinner, your probably thinking no surprise there, I won’t have it though, it makes me feel uneasy
You always said you had a favourite hair style on me so I decided that tomorrow I will do that hairstyle for you and then if your looking over me then you can see it 💕
I miss you so much and I wish you were here but your the prettiest angel in the sky and always will be 💕
I found an old picture of us both from when I was younger, before you got too poorly to come to our house, I’ll put the picture below incase you can see it 💕
Here’s a video I made for your birthday to, I hope you like it https://streamable.com/44f4zk
Love you always

Most i ever drank in one single sitting was a bottle of whiskey but that was spread out over like 12 hours solo on US election night. Predicted every state correct apart from Nevada
Outside of that 1 of, a few larger's every few months is all. Oh and that time I had a fair few pints and proceeded to ace my uni project while tipsy 😂
@DonnerKebab Haha lol. Also how was your day bro?
@Redemption it was pretty busy thanks mate. Mostly just handling my brothers meltdowns. I think because it was quite warm today and he couldn't express it or understand it, i assume that's what triggered several meltdowns. Other than that, pretty much the same.
How was yours? Had any more issues with your mum ranting on about those shoes and football, or maybe something good happening on your course?Oh and bro, the crazy thing is, i didn't even get drunk from the bottle. Proper 70cl Bells whiskey as well. Still hold the record of "never been drunk" assuming tipsy doesn't count. 😂
@DonnerKebab I hope he's better now.
Mine was ok just had my course and stuff. Everything's been ok, I left the football, left the group again and everything else is OK.
thats good bro wiskey is so strong
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything?

Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything?
@DonnerKebab I started my course , it went ok, a woman came to meet me outside the bus stop and took me back to get the bus back too, she's so kind to be doing this because a lot of places would be like I'm on my own in terms of finding it. She's only moved to the UK herself a few months ago, I feel a bit embarrassed that someone that new to the UK had to show me where somewhere was in my own city was she moved to the UK but got a job here too like quicker than me. I know we shouldn't compare ourselves to people though, I think the people there are looking for work too like me, I'm not fully sure if it's everyone tbh but I think it is, the people who I spoke to were looking for work. It went ok though, just was nervous, self conscious like questioning am I doing this wrong? Am I doing that wrong etc? I guess I just over think like previous setbacks have caused that because I worried about doing stuff wrong and I was and flopping opituinities that I thought were suitable. Hopefully this is what this course should help, heard a few others saying they need to improve confidence too. Sorry for the whole essay anyway bro, hope you're all good.
