Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.

Just A Quickie...

 

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.

-- George Eliot

so true...I love you Lily, and i miss you so much, my little angel

Dear Mammy...

i want to tell you all about Cheryl. Not the baby, the woman who Cheryl the baby was named after. Cheryl was my older brother James' best friend when he was a kid. I can remember her being very pretty and sweet but at the same time also very bad. She would pick me up from school when James couldn't be arsed, and she'd buy me a curleywurley on the way home. She used to say that i could have whatever i wanted, but i would always have a curleywurley because they were her favourite too. She bought me one almost every time without fail. Apart from once, but that's another story. She had big brown eyes and a nice laugh, and she treated me kindly and talked to me like i was a proper person, not just some kid who she probably felt sorry for. But she moved down south, and i haven't seen her for a very long time now. She probably doesn't remember me. But i remeber her, and i probably always will...
love Scarlett

Today i...

today i tried and almost succeeded to stop one of my friends getting a tattoo that i know he will DEFIANTLY regret in about 3 milliseconds of getting it done. He wants one of his friends (who is a girl btw), semi-naked with the wings of and angel tattooed onto his back. he just couldn't see why it might not be a good idea. Why are boys SO stupid???
love from Scarlett

Today i...

i had a 'hot date' last night with Alex, and it was fun, but not all that exciting. I just went round to his flat, and we watched a film  that he hated and i loved (pride and prejudice in case you care, and when it was over he said ''the only way that they could of made that worse if they tried was if that knightly lass were a minger'') he cooked veggie spaghetti bolognaise (how do you spell that?) cos he remembered that I'm a vegetarian and made me curly wurley ice cream cos he knew that they were my fave. I think that he just might be a keeper :)
love Scarlett

Dear Mammy...

I want to bring you another happy memory.
I was very young and my brother James didn't have his own car, but he'd borrowed a friend's little car (i think that it was some kind of cheap ford) he tried it out up the A1, going really fast and blaring music out of the speakers with the windows open. The wind was flicking at my hair and the sun was on my face and I felt so...it's hard to explain, free almost. I was happy like only a child can be. I can even remember what song it was, beacuse they were my favourite band when i was a kid. The song that he played for me was Girls Aloud 'sound of the underground' and i knew all the words...to be fair i probably still do XD
lots of love
Scarlett 

Dear Mammy...

I'm gonna start blogging with a memory...a memory about my mam.
She was very beautiful my mam was, or at least, i always thought so. she had dark hair like James and was tall and thin like a model. I can remember one morning waking up, and the flat wasn't freezing like it normally was, but it was warm and the heating was on. i got out of bed and went into the kitchen. and she was stood there at the little cooker that was crap and smelt of gas even when it wasn't on, cooking pancakes. Not even shop pancakes, proper ones made of egg and milk and that. the radio was on and it was playing one of my favourite songs and i felt so happy, like i wanted to stay stuck in that moment forever. we had good times, didn't we mam?
love Scarlett
