Number 5: Write to 5 people I admire

A relatively easy challenge then but one that caused me to put quite a lot of thought into as well as a couple of tears. Without wanting to sound like Sid Vicious, I have never really had any famous heroes as I always quite arrogantly thought I would be as good as them if I had a bit more luck. The five people I chose to write to aren't massive celebrities, but they have all affected my life in a positive way and made me think" why am I such a moaning arsehole".
In no particular order the people I wrote to were:

Jane Tomlinson's family
Bald blogger Adrian Sudburys parents
My Dad
My mate Ben
My Friend Andrew Marsh's parents

If you haven't heard of Jane Tomlinson then check out this link

Or read one of her books-The Luxury of time or You Cant Take it with You. I know for a fact if I got cancer I would sit in a chair crying for about two months and then hate the world. I very much doubt I would have the courage to leave a legacy with the time I had left. This is exactly what Jane and the next person I wrote to " Adrian Sudbury/bald blogger" achieved.

And read the archives of Adrian's blog before he died. I was feeling a bit whiny one day and read it and then cried for about half an hour. Heroes.

Number three on my list was my Dad which is probably a bit of a cliche but fuck it. I owe this man everything including about eight million quid which he has never made me feel bad for. Thanks Dai.

I don't want to bang on about my friend Ben because he is a private guy and wouldn't appreciate it, but he went through a lot last year and came out the other side having taken it all on the chin. Nice one Benno.

Last but certainly not least I wrote to my friend Marshies parents Julian and Carole. Marshy was killed a couple of years ago in a tragic accident at the age of just twenty four. The dignity and bravery that Julian, Carole and Andrew's sister  Claire have shown since this awful news has been immense.They really are three very special people. I know this wont help them at all but I just wanted to let me know I was thinking of them.

No big photo needed for this challenge but the most rewarding one I have completed so far.
