Going across town to see my nan and opa today. They're getting older and it's lowkey freaking me out, so I'm trying to visit more often 😬 it's just a small gathering; myself, them, dad, maybe my uncle - so it will be nice 🥰

Dad also found some old photos, about 10, in his wardrobe. Ones he hid and saved from mums rampages. He sent them to me and now I have a real nice collection of memories!

There's a number of them where I'm just a wee baby and mum is holding me. It's crazy to think she was just 19-20yo and I'm now way older than that. She was my age when I was 12-13. I can't imagine having a young teen child myself at my age.
