  • Eulogy

    The fact we are all here at this event reflects who we lost especially for myself and my siblings.

    trying to pacify this pain is useless, but really, anne, my mum, wouldn’t want her passing to instigate misery.

    we may have lost an amazing woman, but my god, what we gained from knowing her highly offsets what we lost. being an utter inspiration, coming from humble beginnings, she went on to qualify as a dentist at Edinburgh university, and after working in that profession, went on to start her own practise.

    her biggest achievement was… well you’re looking at one of them, along with my brother and sister, and, of course, how she made all of you had a lasting impression of her.

    let her achievements inspire you to make your own ones, too.

     and in a way, she lives on through my siblings and i, in the fact we have her blood in our veins, but also, i think we portray attributes of her personality because she was a fabulous mother.

    and in her memory, i aim, and probably these two  to embrace these attributes, and as she probably made you all feel like her family, welcome to the clan.

  • High heels

    After several years of personal training, I can FINALLY walk. Always one to exceed expectations, I passed on all this hard work, recovering from a brain injury and learning to walk again. To deliver this information about how I did it, I performed a speech…. In high heels (see below).

    There was parts about when enduring this condition, you have a loss of identity. This is unfortunate because your identity is made up of memories.

    Few people can choose a product that describes their identity. But I could….. high heels.

    Both aesthetic reasons, and psychological ones too. They change your figure, push your shoulders back so enhances your figure, and they’re a great complement to most outfits. But psychologically;

    They attract attention, confidence, make me feel sexy and dominant and powerful.

    For most of human history, there has been a power shift: men have a better pay while women are “home makers”.

    With equal pay introduced, more flat shoes have been worn. I call for a switch-a-rol. Women to be the dominant sex, through heels.
