Just a little thankyou…Recently I have been trying to think of what a new post to write when I just thought I’d write a post about how thankful I am to have the people I have in my life. The people who have to put up with me and my moods and constantly listen to me go on and on and on.
First my dad to be honest my dad has made me the person who I am today he such a hard worker and has always told us that we have to work for where we want to be in life when growing up I have always been a daddy’s girl, and with what went on with my mam, my dad has always been there for me and my sisters and brother. he has been through so much and even through all he’s been through he still comes out smiling, he works so hard and he works so hard for us. he is the best dad anyone can ask for, he always puts us first before himself he makes sure we are all happy. He’s such a fighter which is why look up to him so much, he has a patience of saint having to deal with me and my two sisters. Whenever I’m feeling down or anxious I always know that he is just a phone call away and he makes everything so much better, not living near him makes it so hard but I know when times are tough he will come down to me without a doubt. The way he is to my niece and nephew is just the cutest I see the way Aran and Kerry look up to him and they are his world. We have all done quite well so far and its all thanks to my dad. And I don’t say it enough to him but I’m so thankful for everything he has given me and just brought me up to be the person I am today.
My sister tara is a person I look up to so much she is such an inspiration she has gone so far in life and has conquered so much and is the best mum to Kerry and Aran, they have turned into such happy little people and she has worked so hard in life to give them everything they need. I know when times are tough for me she is always there for me she is one of my best friends ad she is always giving me advice and listening to my problems and telling which path to go down.
My best friends, sometimes I don’t know how some of you put up with me cause I’m constantly going on about things and overthinking but thank you for being such great friends to me and putting up with me and always there for me no matter what. I cant describe how grateful I am.
My housemate Sasha and Kurt who also are part of my best friends I think you have to put up with me the most as you see and deal with me everyday but thank you both for always being there for me especially when I’m at my lowest, I always know your always there for me and ye always try to cheer me up when I’m down, and I’m sorry when I’m in my moods but what gets me through it all I know that you never judge me think I’m a freak lol. But I can’t thank you enough, living with you both the last year has made me into a new person and I feel I’ve changed so much in a good way but its all thank you both.
I think when you’re at your lowest you think you have no one but when you actually think about it there are so many people around you that care for you. You just have to open your eyes.

What will we do without friends and family?
I read the intro you wrote to your blog and it was upsetting that your mother and you all had such a difficult time. But I am so glad to read that you are surrounded by such amazing people who are helping you get through.
