Honesly its been a while without her, Making mistakes makes you realise what you could do right to get a more liked outcome, Whenever nan would pop round shed get a "hi" and id just pop right off again into my man cave as she called it. Looking back at it i regret not interacting with her more, she basically created my childhood, Loosing her has created many descisions to happen and many regrettable ones. Nan had a tough life and she told me all about it, On our wanders down the canal to see the swans or down to the cafe to grab a quick biccy as she called it😂, she got kicked down many times but pulled herself right back up when she probably didnt feel like it, the worst happens to the best sometimes. While she was in hospital she was messaging me alot, On about leaving and going to the gym! allways keeping an open and positive mind, Sometimes even reminding me to go and stay on track😂, At the funeral i got asked to write a little snippet but it was such a shock i didnt know what to do, there was so much we did and went through, Nan probally new about nearly every bus driver in nottingham for all i know, but i just wanted to write a little somthing for her, Live long and prosper Nan🤠💞

Forwards, Onwards and Upwards, dear friend x

I am writing this with great sadness. Jean, we met when we lay opposite each other in City Hospital in 2022. Despite both of us going through a really challenging time and recovery, we had great fun chatting and getting to know each other on the ward. The stories you told of Sophie, Josh, Ben and Chloe and the wider family and your absolute lust for life were inspiring. We stayed in touch through cards and occasional messages, you always offered me guidance and support, and I feel honoured to have known you. I will always try to approach life as you did. Sincerest condolences to Carl, Mark and the wider family. Brighter stars are shining now! Forwards, onwards and upwards my friend xx
