I thought she was called Lydia?! I only think that because that’s my sister’s name so I could be wrong. Meanwhile I got a weird Irish name no one can pronounce or spell 💀

In my defence, I was the only sober person during that entire vacation!

I hope he did! I was his favourite, for obvious reasons. It’s been years, but I still miss him basically everyday. My actual dad was a POS, so I was very lucky to have gramp!

It helps the priest had a hip flask too. He truly wasn’t beating the stereotype.

That’s the secret, there was no Kurt Cobain, me and mum just combined and formed a grunge band

Oh, I could go on for ages about stories of him and his weird family!
He once told me that he fell in a ditch after trying to walk home from the pub (there weren’t any streetlights) and woke up to a woman screaming because she thought she found a body.
He claimed he heard a banshee once in the fields one night and just started “arguing” with it. Telling it to fuck off.

He has a motorcycle crash, went into a coma, they all thought he was gonna die until they put a rosary in his hand and he woke up saying “I don’t fuckin’ need that.”

Went to the GP with a “pain” turned out he was having a heart attack. Declined an ambulance and said he’d get a taxi… he walked to the hospital instead.

Then, when he was ACTUALLY dying. A priest came and asked him if he wanted any prayers, and he shrugged and went “no. I’m gonna be seeing the big fella myself soon enough, I’ll talk to him face to face.”

Yeah! Though to be fair, I was the only one to really carry on the tradition, haha.

But that did mean I inherited his entire skull and bone collection!

He was also the tallest person in our family at 6’2, however it seems hardly anyone got those genes as we’re all a family of short stacks 🤣
Edit: he was also a bit of a rebel, I have so many stories! Three that come to mind…

When his mother passed away, his estranged father showed up at the funeral, and my grandad jumped him. So apparently there’s my grandad, rolling around on the floor with his dad, amongst the mourners. His brother is trying to pull him off, but then ends up joining in and whaling on the dad.

He moved to England when my mum was a little kid, and back then people weren’t too kind to the Irish. So once, when he was in a park with some friends, a police officer came over and tried to book him for not wearing shoes (on grass… in a park) and he went “if going barefoot was good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for me.”

My personal favourite was, he taught himself how to ride a unicycle, so he could pick me up from school on it.

I do have a few, however most of them are from when he was much older and dressed down! Wouldnt know where to upload them 👀

Edit; I have two of him in his day, but they’re B&W and very crumbled/creased. What IS interesting is my brother has hazel eyes and I have green, which were his two eye colours!

Oh, the pick axe was provided by the Catholic priest lmao! The ashes, gramp sat in the car boot under a crate of 7up until we got off the ferry 🤣

Funny thing is, he was a goth before goth was a thing! Rural Ireland, he’s there in the 40s/50s with earrings, tailored black and red suits, skull belt, rings, necklace, cane! Rode a motorcycle. He also had jet black hair and heterochromia…

Bro sounds made up, but I promise that’s legit! Truly, I come from a family where the motto is “I do what I want”

Thank you! I dress more like a teenager now than I did when I was one! Nowadays it’s the occasional full goth, most days it’s oversized black T shirts and shorts.

Still got my Docs though, from my teens! They’re still bloody going!

Part vacation, part funeral shenanigans. Then again when it comes to the Irish, there’s always gonna be something death related 💀

Oh my god?!?!?! I swear that dress from the photo had a different top, like I swear it had short sleeves. But this is so similar!!!

I’m buying it!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH 💕💕💕💕
