A Beautiful Memory...

A Beautiful Memory of a brown eyed brunette beauty.

This evening I am writing a blog, in memory of my beautiful big sister, Hannah Magovern, who would have celebrated her 27th Birthday yesterday.

Happy 27th Birthday Hannah

For Han's birthday we travelled to the seaside town of Marazion to celebrate with a nice glass of wine, some yummy food and the relaxing sound of the sea..

Hannah was the eldest of us three girls, I was the middle girlie and Beth is the baby. Obviously now we are in our 20's.

On the right are a few images of Hannah and I, Hannah with a couple of mates on a night out in Cheltenham and Hannah on a holiday to Jamieca and lastly the lovely one of our amazing Mummy and Hannah when she was little, these beautiful photos are few are far between so they are super special, reminding us all of such treasured memories with dear Han.

So, a brief explaination.. (this is harder to write than I thought, its making me very tearful..)

Its funny how much you can miss someone, even years after they have gone.

October 2001

Hannah suddenly fell ill with severe head-aches, being rushed to hostpital one evening after complaining of extremely intense head pains and sickness. Even the light of a night-light candle was too much for her to stand, screaming it was 'far too bright' and hurting her eyes. 

Visiting Hannah in hospital was fun, she always made me laugh. This one particular day, when I visited, from the moment I stepped in to her little room she was moaning at me, only as a big sister would heehee! ..that her room was untidy, the curtains were letting in too much light and needed to be pulled closed. Her room very peaceful as we chatted about school and life.. I remember her asking me why I had not taken her any flowers this time, which I found really sweet, because I couldnt take flowers everytime I went to see her. I was only 15 years old heehee... So I popped to the hospital cafe to get her some snacks. As I perched at the bottom of her bed, rubbing her feet as requested, she moaned that the tapping noise of my foot on the floor was irritating her. She seemed so different from the usually cheerful, chatty, very happy Hannah we all knew and loved, it was so strange seeing her uncomfortable and poorly.

Hannah was not in hospital very long. She was scanned after suffering a couple of strokes, affecting her speech and her eye sight. They found a blood clot on her brain, so she was quickly rushed to Frenchay in Bristol. Even though the operation was successful, Hannah sadly passed away after complications whilst she was in a coma.

I Miss my big sister everyday, she would be a wonderful aunty to my little Noah and I just know she would have had a very successful happy life, being the ambitious creative and intellegent soul she was.

Its such a shame we lost such a beautiful daughter / sister.. Lots of Love to my Mummy and Daddy who I am immensly proud of, for being so strong over the years.

Here are a few pics from our family trip, celebrating Hannahs birthday. We visited this lovely 'shabby chic' restuarant for a lovely lunch. Its called 2 Fore Street. Right on the sea front, with such pretty interior and delicious grub. After luch we had a wander around the back streets and a long walk along the beach..
