just wanted to post a quick update for those of you who have emailed me asking how things are.
my most heartfelt thanks to those of you who have taken the time to email me with your thoughts and wishes at this tough time.
the power of the net and the amazing network of friends i have made, especially through scrapbooking, never ceases to amaze me.
my uncle is still hanging in there. i was sure that he would be gone by thursday afternoon after seeing him on thursday morning. i said my goodbyes to him before heading off to work, convinced that i would receive a phone call through the day telling me he had passed away. he looked awful, his hands and feet were freezing and his breathing quite laboured.
i guess it is just a matter of time now and the toll is starting to show on everyone around him. dad sits at the end of bob's bed most days, just watching him and not saying much at all; my step-mum and aunts all looked drained and exhausted; and the rest of us takes turns visiting and keeping a vigil.
bob's journey towards the end of his life has well and truly started and when that journey will end is out of all our hands now and is between uncle bob and his maker.
all i can do is pray and hope that the journey is painless, quick and peaceful for him.
the positive side of this sad time is that i have been able to spend some quality time with my brother and his beautiful wife and their boys. they traveled down yesterday to spend some time with bob. kait and i spent a few days in brisbane last week with them.
it was lovely to get to know brett and ness a little better and to have some laughs together.
our family is doing well.
mark is working too hard as always. both he and the boys had their soccer cancelled this weekend due to rain so they are all a little disappointed.
matt has decided that he and some mates are heading off on a cruise later in the year.
jakey is studying hard. he has agreed to partner a young lady to her deb ball so tottles off to dance practice each sunday morning. can't wait to see my beautiful young man in his first suit. lots of photo ops there i am sure.
miss kait is just amazing...always smiling and enjoying having younger cousins around to spoil. i still look at her, even after almost 12 years of her being here on this earth, and i STILL am in awe that i am the mother of such a precious soul...she is such a blessing to our family.
anyways....hoping hoping hoping to have some scrapping to share soon.
if anyone sees my mojo hanging around anywhere, could you please tan it's little hiney and send it on home to it's mumma.
i reckon that i will be scrapping a lot of heritage LOs soon cause my stash is getting so old....LOL
remember to always to look for the things in your life that make you smile
~~ and let those you love, know that you do ~~
and
~*~ LIVE OUT LOUD ~*~
