Highs and Lows

September so far has been full of ups and downs. New beginnings and sad endings.
I started school in the 3rd year of my Child and Youth Care Degree which has been exciting, scary, and a lot of reading. 3rd year has way more expectations than 1st or 2nd year. It's been wonderful meeting so many new people and my professors are pretty awesome. We had a family dinner with the class to get to know everyone better as not all of us came from the same programs. It was a great time.
The sad ending came with the news a week ago of my ex-boyfriend passing away. It was

completely unexpected as it had heard from him shortly before that and he had said he was doing really well. I hadn't heard anything from him since we broke up just over a year ago. If you have been following me you'll know he struggled with mental health issues but wasn't getting help at the time and I couldn't be the only one he was leaning on and that's why we broke up.
My amazing man has been an incredible support through my ups and downs this month. Even though he lost he grandpa just a few days before I got the news about my ex, he has been there for me.

This weekend both funerals are taking place and it is going to be a tough time for both of us.

Take care everyone and remember to enjoy every moment that you have with the people you care about! All the love!
