On a serious note
Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2006 brings you all everything you deserve. Did you all have a nice Christmas/get nice pressies/drink too much? I hope so.
I have to say that I hope this next year brings better times than 2005, which, in a nutshell, sucked.
On Christmas Eve we lost Nanny Worthing. I don’t want to go into too much detail as it seems a little too personal and still feels raw but sadly she is no longer with us. We know she has gone to a much better place now and we know she was ready to be at peace but the gap she has left is ginormous. I miss her so much.
So Christmas wasn’t too much of a gay affair. We had a nice time, we did all the usual but our hearts weren’t really in it. Presents were opened, crackers were pulled but it wasn’t the same.
The funeral is on Monday and we’re having the wake at our house so this next few weeks is going to be pretty touch, especially for Aunty V and Rocker, as Nanny Worthing was like a mother to him.
But I can tell you now, this is the year Rocker and I finally break free from the shackles of that horrible house and go off into the blue yonder together. We hope to sell it in the summer and either bugger off to South Africa for a few months or work here for a few months and then go around the world with the proceeds! When we have done that we hope to spend what we have left on a deposit for a house in Canada, don’t know which bit yet.
Some people I don’t think believe I’m going – so to them I say: Watch me!

We'll be waiting for you over 'ere when you're ready lass. Sorry for your loss, it's never easy to say goodbye to loved ones, even if it's expected.
I certainly hope 2006 goes better for me too. '05 sure went out fighting, wanker year.
Well, sister, I wish you the best of luck!
You can accomplish anything...and I am jealous! I might have to meet you in South Africa or somewhere on your worldly travels. Sounds like a blast.
So sorry about Nanny worthing.Im sure as time goes on you'll be able to remember all the wonderful times you spent together.
Hugs xx
Oh Wondy, I have no idea how I missed this yesterday but I'm very sorry to hear about Nanny Worthing! It's SO HARD when you lose someone close to you so close to the holidays. Hell, it's hard ANYTIME you lose someone close to you (but you know what I mean).
I had a very much loved Aunt who was killed in a car accident about a mile from my house a week before Thanksgiving (this was years ago) and the whole family almost called off our Thanksgiving get together because of it. No one felt like celebrating anything. But in the end, we decided that that's not what my Aunt Dorothy would've wanted at all...in fact, she probably would've been pissed had we not all gotten together as usual, so in the end, we did. But still, I know what you mean about your hearts not being in it.
My condolences on you and Rockers loss....
