A few days ago I went to a funeral.
This wonderful lady was someone I worked with a few years ago in Nelson.
I will never forget meeting her at a local fireworks event, and how friendly and welcoming she was to me and my family.
She was the mother of 5 boys. Aged about 12-20. (She was 47)
She was diagnosed with breast cancer, and went through this around the same time as her eldest son battled leukemia.
Unforunately she lost her battle with cancer and passed away about 6 weeks after being diagnosed with secondary cancer.
When I moved back to Nelson, this woman was the one person who made me feel so welcome. Even before I knew of her illness I remembered her for that.
I came home on Thursday and made a point to spend more time with my children.
I talked with SAM and we both agreed to try to be more positive in life.
One thing a friend of hers said when we caught up after the service was "I thought she was my best friend, but now I realise everybody was her best friend". That is exactly what she was. Everbody's best friend.

Bathtime
We don't have a bath, so one of the highlights for Jack and Molly was their bath at the hotel on their mini holiday. What fun!! The bathroom was awash afterwards.

Snuggled up and growing up
I had to take a photo of the two shortest people in the house today as they headed off to school. They are growing so big so quickly. Decked out in new boots and snuggled up in sweatshirts. Weather here is very wet. All the locals complain because rain is usually minimal. Doing nights I love tucking up into bed with the rain on the roof.
Note to self; Need to take photos from children's height not above as they appear somewhat shorter and wider than in real life.

Jack does it again
Jack went off so excited to a birthday party today. After days of planning and counting down sleeps the day arrived. 45 minutes into the fun and Jack went nose first onto a step. Very sore, but with a few checks we think it isn't broken. At least it isn't crooked.
