Nearly 2 months ago my Great Grandma, (or Mumma), passed away. I wrote this as a facebook status after her funeral, and.. and.. yeah.
So Mumma's funeral today has really made me realise how much we take life for granted. How quickly everything can be taken away from us, in the blink of an eye. How much our family really loves us deep down, even if they aren't always there to show it. Today showed me that in the end, people aren't going to care what you looked like, how many likes you have on your photos, whether your smile is a little off to the side or if your freckles make a funny pattern on your left cheek. No, today showed me that in the end people are going to remember you for the person you are inside, the smiles you brought to their faces, and the tears. They'll remember all the good things you gave them, the lessons they learnt from you. Today made me realise how strong you have to be to let go of something that you've been holding on to for so long. I watched as my Great Pappa, broke down in tears for his wife of 60 years. That was one of the truest signs of love, to me. Love seriously is one of the strongest things there is. Today made me want to do something good with my life, so that those in the future will remember me and be proud that they knew me, just as I am of my Mumma. All in all, Today opened my eyes to the real world... I love you so much Mumma, have fun dancing in the stars with Great Uncle Rauno. Xx
