My Granny
I went to my Granny's wake in London on 22nd, To be honest I really wasn't looking forward to it. I was expecting some solemn gathering of friends and relatives that I didn't know and wanted to leave before I even got there. But I discovered my all my relatives are just as crazy as the rest of my family, from my great-aunt Georgina to my cousin Leon.
I met my uncle James (or Jimmy as my mom calls him) for the first time, and his awesome girlfriend Pania.
It was so great to meet all these relatives who I had previously thought didn't want to have anything to do with us, and I really felt at home with them all.
It also made me realize what an amazing woman my grandmother was, hearing all these stories about her life and seeing the impact she had on all her friends and family.
My uncle had found a bunch of old pictures of my mom when she was younger, which are hilarious, I'll post some when they get scanned.
It's bizarre how alike my uncle and mom are, they have the same sense of humour they're both super stubborn.
I really hope we can see James and Pania again, maybe for Christmas or something.
