Dearest Bruce ♥️

I know its been a while since I've had a ramble on here but that doesn't mean I dont miss you every day.

So much has gone on in the last few months however the main one for today is that today I handed over the keys to your house to a new owner.
The emotions involved in that moment took me by surprise, somehow it just made everything more final, it felt like the final piece of you.

Dave is putting on a brave face, you know how he is. Im really trying to talk sports with him but im just not you and I know how much he is missing those chats with you, what with Hull being rubbish again this season, city's promotion and all the drama around Newcastle I know he would love to chat it all out with you.

Elouise is doing really well, she's really come out of her shell the past month, the change in her is amazing, you would be so proud of her. She sat with us the other day pricing up flights to go and see Shania, of course it has to be business class haha little princess isnt sitting in economy all that way haha
My new job is going well, its so much better than my old one for home life.

Anyway Dave has promised us chippy dinner tomorrow for completion day im sure you would approve of our choice.

I will try not to leave it so long next time 😊 But you can keep sending us your little signs that you are around even if they are a little freaky at times!

Miss you Bruce

♥️ Linz ♥️

To My Grandad Bruce
It's been a while since I've written here and it feels even longer since I've seen you but what I want to say must be said. Some days, I pretend you're still here and we're just not speaking, some days I feel like the world is swallowing me whole because you're not there to ground me. Mum and Dad are always there for me, always helping me and being the support system I need them to be and I adore them for that but you are missing and you were everything.
It's been a difficult month for me, I can't lie. Especially since L and I split up but I've been pushing on because I wanted to be the best I can be - the Ellie you wanted me to be.
I graduated from Uni, I began writing my own book and working with Shania (she's doing good, don't worry) to begin actually promoting it.
Even if time passes and I try healing, I will always get to major events and feel like you deserved to be here too, seeing me grow.
I love you, Grandad Bruce.
I'll talk to you soon <3
Lots of love,
Your little bain <3

Hey BruceyBabes!

Well Hull City did it! How? I don't know, but I am sure you're happy about it! I hope you didn't drink that celebratory pint of shandy too fast!

Well the kid has bought a house! don't ask, I don't want to talk about it! You are to blame for that! That's another thing added to the list of things to talk about when we meet again! So far we have ...
Location of your grave.
Providing my daughter with her house deposit! (Thanks though)

From what we can see Meg is loving her new life, her owners absolutely love her to bits and she looks very happy!
Megs sister my little demon dog Rosie hasn't changed, she is still 100 miles an hour but so darn adorable and protective of me it's unreal.

Linz has just got back from Nottingham after having a few days with her friends, she needed a break from me? Why would anyone need time away from me? I don't get it! Did you need time away from me? is this going to have to be added to this list?

Anyway, I am currently at work typing this so I better get back to earning those pennies.
Speak soon miss you more than anything!
