My granny
Thursday 26th Feb The picture you see on my page, isn't me. It's my granny. Or at least, how I remember her. Fiercely independent, confident and loving.Not long after this picture was taken, my granny stopped smiling. She kept on saying something wasn't right but it took a while for the final diagnosis to come through. Parkinson's. I knew of it from what I'd heard here and there but I didn't know. I had no idea what was to come.
10 years we watched her disappear little by little. Parkinson's took away her smiles, laughter, independence and can-do attitude until it finally took her memory and body.
10 years came and went. We grieved losing my granny every time the illness progressed.
A couple of weeks ago, she passed away. I'm relieved she is now at peace and able to rest. I'm doing this in her memory but I am doing it also in the hope that any money raised can go towards preventing anyone else from having to watch their loved ones whither away slowly and irreversibly.
Every little helps, so please donate and help keep me motivated to do my daily mile in this unpredictable, Welsh spring.
So sorry for your loss Teodora! Big hugs xx
