1) my parents- I am soooooo grateful for my parents. They have stuck by my side through everything and I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for them. Since I fell ill in march 2011 they've both been by my side and come to every doctors appointment with me. I can imagine how hard things could have been for them but not once was that reflected on the outside. They were forever positive and telling me that nothing is the end of the world. I seriously couldn't have better parents. I love you both to the moon and back! And they're also taking me to Australia for my 21st!!! Best parents ever? Yeap I think so too
2) my family - since day one they have been supportive and not afraid to talk to me about my illness, which I love. They are such a crazy lot but I wouldn't have it any other way! Everyone is soo supportive in whatever I do. Whenever I come up with my crazy fundraising ideas they never tell I won't be able to do anything,they're so positive! Which I love and which makes me love them so much ❤️
3) my MS - sounds so weird but I'm so grateful, not only do I now have a name to my illness but I've also met some amazing people who are connected to MS in one way or another. Since being diagnosed I've become such a mature and level headed person. Yeah, I hate MS so very much but since there's no cure it's something I can't run away from, instead I'll just embrace it and do EVERYTHING in my power to help fundraise which will ultimately help find a cure :)
4) My friends - although if I'm honest I've lost many friends since being diagnosed or people are very different towards me (their loss not mine!) I do have such a lovely bunch of friends who are very supportive in whatever I do which is so lovely it's nice to know people care about you (as silly as that sounds), I've also made many new friends which it's great :) I have a group of 8 girls, including me.. (you know who you are) which most of them I've known for almost 10 years, I literally wouldn't be able to cope sometimes if it wasn't for them. They're so positive and funny and supportive and if you're reading this I know I don't open up much but thank you, I love you all so much ❤️
5) my cats - I love my cats haha (WARNING: future cat lady) need I say more? Haha
6) Work - since sept 2011 I've been working with the best people I could have imagined! I'm so grateful to have had a part time job during uni so I wasn't a poor student (yay)! The support I've had from work has also been amazing, I couldn't have asked for anything more! I've met some of the best and funniest people at work, which I know I'll be friends with forever ❤️
