Bad is a bit of an understatement, GUT WRENCHING, is closer. My aunt got diagnosed with Breast Cancer today. Too far gone for the doctors to do anything.
You never really think about until it hits home and for that i could not feel more guilt-ridden for those who have already lost someone if i tried. It will take me a while to come to terms with it all but somehow i know i have to try and be strong.
Our family has had issues recentley and through this horrible time i pray we can just put our issues aside and come together as a family for my Aunt. I want her to know that yes we may all hate each other 99% of the time but deep down when you strip away everything and nothing is left all you have left is your family and we will always love her.
Recentley i was asked if i had a 'hero'. I spent a while thinking about it, Usually my instant answer is a random celebrity like John Barrowman or Billie Piper. But after REALLY thinking about it, My hero is not a 'random celebrity' In fact i wouldnt go so far as to call him a 'celebrity'. Can Fictional characters even be 'Famous'?
Well 'famous' is questionable, but 'Iconic' is a definite win.
The man im talking about has to constantly make decisions that must take such epic strength just to be able to get up the next day and carry on. He can't die so he can never take the way out that most people would go with. He saves the world and never asks for the applause, He is doomed to live forever so all he can do is watch everyone he loves grow old and die (or not even make old age in the case of his most recent lover) and yet he still carries on, never ageing, never looking back, if he did i dont think he could carry on.
But something i can really relate to is his openness, I honestley wish with all my heart that the world we currentley live in could see past 'labels' (no im not talking about Gucci and Louis Vuitton for a change) I mean labels on people, My hero would never turn someone down for a relationship because of their gender. The way the show puts it is "he's a modern kinda guy, anything with a postcode" And although my openness does have its limits, (i mean i wouldn't want to have a relationship with a poodle...) I admire that he sees the person for who they are and not whether theyre black, white, male, female, or an off world mix of the lot.
I have always said its not about looks or style or gender its the person that matters.
and athough the man in question is well known for being rather vain i think he would agree with my little saying.
So what if he's fictional? Call me silly, call me sad, Say i need to get a life, I. Don't. care.
My Hero is Captain Jack Harkness, and now like he has done so many times, i need to be strong and make sure that the imminent loss of a loved one doesnt stop me chasing my dreams and above all Living.
I love you Auntie L xxx
