Closely following the Anniversary of Kyle’s Death on 24th Jan each year, the anniversary of his funeral (probably the worst day of my life having to let my son’s body go) flashes next. I don’t always come to visit on this day – I try to be kind to myself and just do what I… Continue reading 4th Feb 2022 – 6th Anniversary of Kyle’s Funeral
The Compassionate Friends of WA always send me a card of comfort at this time of year. Every day without my son is difficult and some days are worse than others. I think this time of year is probably the hardest of all to even get out of bed. The 24th January 2016 changed our… Continue reading 6th Anniversary of Kyle’s Death
Vince and I are going to Darwin for my parent’s 60th Wedding Anniversary, so today I said my farewells to Christina and her family and went to Pinnaroo to put some flowers there and connect with Kyle before my trip. I miss you so much every single day, and life is so hard without you.… Continue reading Flowers for Kyle before Darwin Trip
Every day without Kyle is a challenge, and there is not a single day I don’t think of him and my heart aches. But on his birthday it is always a bit harder thinking of what might have been for him. Not getting to see his son, Cash, doesn’t help and it would mean so… Continue reading Happy 36th Birthday Kyle
I don’t always put up a post every time I visit Kyle, when I go I usually I take flowers, but sometimes if I am just passing I will still call-in without them. That said, my Sister, Jacky in Darwin got called and I happened to mention I was going – she wanted me to… Continue reading Flowers for No Reason from Aunty Jack and Mum
Even though today is Christina’s Birthday she had other plans so that meant I wasn’t able to catch up with her on the actual day. Vince and I took the ANIMAL (or R1200 BMW Adventure Motorbike) that we took around the world on our Honeymoon back in 2015-2016 for a run up to Gidgigannup to… Continue reading 28th August 2021 – Neena’s Birthday
February 2021 saw a raging bushfire destroy the Perth Hills, including the area of Kyle’s Crash. When it was finally safe to go to check it out, I was totally devastated at what I saw. Things were burnt to a cinder and nothing but the concrete footing and metal bracket remained of the wooden cross… Continue reading Bushfire Devastation at Gidgigannup and the Perth Hills
27 March 2020 – It’s been a long time since I posted here, but it doesn’t mean that things have not been happening for our family, that we have somehow forgotten Kyle or Cash, or that we have not continued to remember them and to celebrate and commemorate important dates to which they are connected… Continue reading A Big Backlog Condensed!
Well I have to say we arrived at 0.30am from our Qantas Flight from Heathrow, via Singapore and after a day and a half of travel without sleep we crashed and slept until 5.30pm – very jet lagged! So my 57th Birthday was a bit of a non event on the day. That said, over… Continue reading YaYa’s Birthday 2020
This year has been a very log battle with my broken leg from 15.2.2019 in Bali not healing, needing a second surgery, a raging bone infection with a superbug (MRSA) and the IV Vancomycin treatment for weeks that almost killed me! Going from wheelchair, to walking frame, to elbow crutches then walking stick at only… Continue reading Reaching my Goal 2019!
