Mum

I lost my Mum in August, it's coming up to 6 months and her birthday. I can't breathe. I don't know who I am anymore and I don't know the people around me. EVERYTHING is different.

After 37 years, all of a sudden my Father wants to get to know me because he's lonely. He was never interested before. I want to run. I have so many friends around me yet I have never felt so alone and scared in my life. The only thing that keeps me going is how brave she was and how I want to be brave for her.
