LJ Idol Season 10, Week 15 , Patchwork Heart

[mrstotten]

I was seven years old the first time I saw a dead body.  My mum’s uncle had died and they were hosting the wake at my Gran’s.  It felt like there were over a hundred people.  The place stank of cigarettes and stale whiskey.  I remember screwing up my nose as I tried to find my way out of the room past a sea of legs.   Knobbly knees and tights

So many heartbreaking moments in this. I felt my heart ripped out over your friend in school. But I was pleased to see the positives in the mix, too, with your husband and son.

thank you :) Kim is a rough memory but glad I got it out, i've never written about her before.

I do believe we are such a strong mix of the good and the bad
