I had a call from my Dad last night telling me that my Nanna is in hospital and that he had only just found out. I spent all day today trying to get more information. Finally at 5 this evening I found out that she is seriously ill and has been in hospital since last Friday. Her son is coming all the way over from Australia to be with her. This is what happened in April when my Grandfather died. All those feeling came rushing back and I totally fell apart.
The situation is difficult. She is actually my Grandad's second wife - my Dad's Stepmum. They were married before I was born so she has always been my Nanna. But my Dad and his sisters have never had an easy relationship with her. She just never treated them as her kids and things have never been easy between them but they always made an effort when my Grandad was alive.
This I guess is why it has taken so long for the information to get to me. I am really upset though as she is my Nanna and I have known her all my life. She is in hospital in Surrey so I can drive up there tomorrow and see her. I hope it's not to say goodbye but my heart tells me that it is.
About Me
- Kelly
- United Kingdom
- I am a contradiction. Fiesty but I hate conflict. Happy and smiley but constant worrying. Loud and silly with friends but painfully shy around strangers. I love the summer but can't cope with the sun. My favourite things in the whole world are my husband, my toddler boy, my baby girl, my friends, my family, penguins, singing loudly alone in the car, and Cornwall. I don't like people who think the world owes them something, my fears and celery.
