I was living in the Middle East at the time with my step father and mother. My grandmother who I was very close to had just passed away. This meant my mother was 3000 miles away in England arranging her funeral. I got myself ready for bed and noticed I'd started bleeding.
I was so emotional all I could think to do was call my mum. After crying on the phone for a bit, she said I had to go tell my dad so he could get pads for me. I was too embarrassed. So my mum called him all the way from England to explain. He didn't make a big deal about it, he just went out and bought pads and chocolates and gave them to me.
