My Grandmother was on TV today!

Saved this post for the last today. Anyone who watched Central news this evening would have seen a piece on my Nana, Cynthia Watkins. (plus a few embarrassing old stills of me and my sisters and other family and friends!)

They had decided to do a feature on her because on Sunday afternoon we celebrated her life - in her company. I guess in a way like a funeral or memorial service whilst she is still with us. You see, she is terminally ill - and we know she'll not be with us for that much longer.

So, Nana decided that what she'd like to do is have all her friends and family with her and enjoy us all being there, and share in memories and fun - and why not?!

We all chatted about our personal memories of her as we've grown up, we toasted her - for all that she had been to us, and all this she was able to enjoy. What a brave, wonderful Nana I have - and how dear to her we all felt (and still feel)

I found this newspaper piece also.

(BTW I have looked on the Central news site - and there is no mention of it - if anyone has any more links then do please let me know)
