Just got off the phone to my favourite cousin who called to tell me that my last living grandparent (albeit a step one) died last night. I am feeling unexpectedly upset. I think the fact that she was the first person along with her long dead husband who welcomed me into the new branch of the family when I was little. They always made me feel like a part of it all, even though my step mum didn't at the time. I will miss you Elizabeth, and I always loved you. Have said to Francesca that I want to go to the funeral and I'll be really upset if I'm not invited, despite the kerfuffle of the last year with my dad and Rachel since my birthday. You were such an invincible woman...for some reason I think I always believed that you would outlast everybody else.
The cat is in honour of Pud who was Elizabeths favourite ginger companion after David died.
