Short and Sometimes Sweet

"To live on in the hearts of those you love is not to die" In the early hours of the 5th of July, after an astoundingly brave and long battle, a light went out in my world. I said goodbye to my hero, my role model, my daddy. Words can't express how I'm feeling right now, and I haven't even processed the enormity of what has happened but I would like people to know a little bit about the man I simply called 'Da'. I was always a daddy's girl. When you're little you have no clue about the reality of what your parents are dealing with, and I always thought my mum was grumpy and dad was the funny one. Later in life I realised that mum had a lot to contend with. Dad was no angel in the early days, and added to that the stress of bringing up four children and losing twins to miscarriage, it's not difficult to see why she struggled.

Today’s match sees us travelling to Swansea, in what could turn out to be a swan song for our beloved Giroud. With the ink all but dry on a contract that sees Aubamayang join us for a record fee, and Mikhi possibly starting the future looks bright for us gooners. It could be however, a future without the lamp post that is Olivier Giroud.

He’s been a good servant for the club. He has scored some vital goals for us, but also brings that certain “je ne sais quoi” to the club. If he does go, and go to the Chavs, it will definitely break lots of hearts. Selling to a direct rival is not something we should be happy about.  We will be looking for our fourth away win (yes really) this season, and a tough away game awaits. Henrikh Mkhitaryan is set to make his debut in this mid week game that kicks off at 19.45 uk time

There’s so much going on right now that it’s difficult to know where to begin. After much research, both verbal and online, I decided to change my gp. This is a huge decision for someone with fibro. There is a lot of negativity, judgement and ignorance around the disease. It is a musculoskeletal disease, that effects the neuro system and transmitters. It means pain. In every inch of your body. Pain, inflammation, swelling, dizziness, fits, brain fog to name a few and is almost always associated with arthritic conditions. It includes chronic fatigue (mostly due to the pain) and some form of depression. Your immune system is compromised so infections occur regularly. Your eyesight is effected and migraine is also a common occurrence. According to The Mayo Clinic in the US “ Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting t
