In 2004 I went through a bone marrow transplant and wasn’t sure it would work so I decided to bite the bullet and plan what might come next. I planned my send off not a funeral, I wanted to be there myself. I organised a party with loud Rock n Roll music, lots of food and plenty to drink. No dark or foreboding coloured clothing to be worn. No sad speeches, no one to saying anything behind my back they hadn’t said to my face. A memory jar for people to put little items to remember me buy to be given to daughter after the fact. It was an absolute hoot and it gave me such hope it turned everything negative to positive which I was so surprised that it gave me strength to carry on. I’m still going today and I believe it was the support and positivity that party gave me to get over myself and to keep carrying on.
