This is my first blog, I did attempt one I think a couple of months after Ellie was born, but it didn't work or I was to tired!

What made me start tonight??? Well I was driving back from my mum and dad's after a particularly stressful time with my Dad (who has Alzheimer's). I looked up and saw the moon and the stars.

You see the moon holds a special significance for everyone in my family as my Grandma Betty would always look at the moon and it didn't matter where we were we knew she would be with us in spirit. She is no longer with us, and so seeing the moon tonight reminded me of all the happy memories I have of her, she was an amazing lady who would tell you she could and would be awkward sometimes, may be that's where I get it from. We as a family learnt so much from her, I'm not saying she was perfect as nobody is, but she gave us values we try and keep to today.
