Cancer, Depression and Me.

I had my brother here yesterday from about dinner time till 7pm ish. Was a good day, kept my mind occupied. Today, ive been nipping in and out of the front garden trying sort it out. My arms are aching from using the hedge cutters. Im waiting for my canvas arrive of Jay-Dee that I ordered, it should of been here 2 days ago so im not happy. Ive got a big canvas of Jay-Dee up in my living room and im putting little canvases of him around it. Breaks my heart that all I have left are photos of him and my dad. I miss them both with all my heart. A few of my friends have asked me to go The Man In Space tomorrow for a meal, so that will be nice. We went there a few months back and the mixed grill was lovely. Be nice to have a catch up with them. I hate having to do life without my father and son. I feel guilty for doing things without them both. Im trying so hard to live, but everyday my heart hurts. In 3 days time it will be 2 years without Jay-Dee, it will also be my sisters birthday. We...

Just been gazing out of my kitchen window, stood watching all the little birds flying in and out of my hedges. Watching them fills me with so much peace.  Ive currently got my hedge cutters charging that my dad brought me. I did a big sigh that hes not here to help me with the garden which he always did. Jensen is going to help me do the hedges today and then the back garden is done. Jensen is such a good boy helping me. All my boys are good boys, im so proud of them all. I was so proud of Jay-Dee, gone way too soon. Feel a bit deflated today, but thats probably because ive been awake since 3am. Went the toilet and I just couldnt fall back asleep. Its 8:53am and im tired. Its going to be a long day. Im expecting a canvas today of Jay-Dee to go with all my other canvases i have around the house. One side of my stairs is filled with them. I just love having photos around me of my family. Keeps me going seeing their faces. Im so glad ive always taken photos because thats all I have le...

35 days until I go on holiday. Why did I book it a year ago thinking id be "better" by now? I was fucking delusional! Anxiety is kicking in big time about going. Ive brought nothing for myself to take. Jesse has 5 outfits to take which are lovely. There's still so much that I need to buy, with little money to get it all. What will be, will be. I keep telling myself that ill be fine once I get on the plane, but im so nervous. Ive always gone away with another adult, so its daunting going on my own with just Jasper and Jesse-John. I'll be ok wont I? Not done alot today, had my dad and son on my mind like always. Jensen took me collect my medication and then to Asda to get something for tea. We're having bacon and cheese oatcakes.  I miss my dad and son so much, life is just so cruel. Im dreading next Tuesday when it'll be 2 years for Jay-Dee. Can you imagine going 2 years without speaking to or seeing your child? It's torture. I speak to my dad and son every...

Finally, after months of putting it off, my hair has been done. Scalp bleach and a toner. Mum said that should be £90 in a salon, luckily my mums a hairdresser then isn't haha. Told her i loved her, thats my payment. My roots were horrendous, my hair looked so bad, but its all done now. Thank God. Ive been in and out of the house doing bits of sunbathing and I was just lying there looking up at the clouds and thought to myself, my dad and son are up there. It breaks my heart. A week today will be 2 years without my child. Honestly, I dont know how ive made it this far. Mum said to me, how am I doing, and I said I honestly wish I was dead. She said stop thinking like that and think of the boys. I said the only reason im alive is for the boys. I said if I didn't have them, id of been gone along time ago, she said I know. Jensen came and picked me up from mums bless him. Mum said I should visit more often, but she lives so far away it costs a fortune in taxis. I should make more o...

Jesse hasn't been very well today, but hes had medicine and hes feeling better. Ive been in and out of the house all day, doing bits of gardening. We went get Jensens car washed and cleaned inside. Nipped Home Bargains for some Monster drinks. Collected Jasper on our way home and whilst I cooked tacos for tea, all the boys were out in the back garden doing all the weeding. It was so nice to watch them all do the garden, but at the same time I felt sadness that Jay-Dee wasn't with them. On the way to get Jasper we have to go past the crem, my heart sank knowing Jay-Dee has a flower bed there. Im so glad his ashes are with me at home, because driving past the cemetery knowing our son was buried there would kill me. So im glad hes with his mum. Same with my dad, im glad his ashes are with me. They're both safe and they'll stay with me until I die. I feel ok today, had a few moments of sadness, but ive pushed through. The back garden looks so much better after Damian mowing...

Damian came around this morning in this red hot weather and did all my grass for me. It was so overgrown. Hes such a good man. Im lucky to have him in my life. Anything me or the kids need and hes there to help. Im blessed. After Damian went my friend Rachael came and shes literally been here all day, a good 6 hours. My mind has been occupied today. Spoke about Jay-Dee whilst having conversations. It always fills my heart when I speak about my dad and son. I love to talk about them, they deserve to be remembered. Im in my pjs now ready for bed. Its 7:04pm. Just had my nighttime medication. My washer is nearly done so I can peg my washing out, ill fetch it back in tomorrow. I can actually get to my washing line now Damian has sorted my grass out. Bless him, he had sweat dripping off him doing the garden in this weather. I did give him a can of pop. Ive not felt too bad today but thats because ive had people around me. Anyway, Jensen is getting us all a desert and we're dieting from ...
