    I feel so up and down at the moment. I literally feel like my heart is physically breaking at times....I can burst into tears in the middle of a coffee shop (which i did the other day which caused a lot of stares!)...and I just feel so helpless.

Well the last time we saw this consultant he had told my Dad that without treatment he would only have 6 months to live. So in the waiting room my Dad looked SO scared. He had no colour in his face...his eyes looked sad...and he was shaking. It took everything I had to…

    I am going to do a blog post on our Wedding day very soon - but I want to write that when I have more time and I can properly reflect on the amazing day that it was. My Dad did AMAZING....he was SO proud and he did us ALL proud...it was the bestest day of my life xxx

    Since the Wedding I have struggled a lot. Leading up to the Wedding I had so much to plan & was looking forward to it SO much that it really…
