It’s hard to accept that it’s been 2 years since Kyle died. Vince and I have had a horrible two years with a series of other family traumas on top of Kyle’s death. At breaking point we took a trip to Tasmania with the ANIMAL, Vince rode ahead and I joined him by flying into… Continue reading 2nd Anniversary of Kyle’s Death 2018
Today was a really really hard day for all sorts of reasons. But the biggest reasons was I didn’t get to see any of my children or grandchildren because it was not possible. Kyle has died and despite our best attempts we still have been unable to get to see little Cash for his 2nd Christmas.… Continue reading Christmas Day 2017
I found out in Dec that the rock we wanted could only fit a small plaque and I had certain ideas about what I wanted on the customised personal plaque so it was touch and go if it could be done. I put it out there that if it could fit then I would shout… Continue reading Kyle’s Memorial Plaque
I started my day with an early morning (5.00am) visit to Peasholm St Dog Beach to spend time with Kyle’s ashes before my flight to Darwin. I wanted to reconnect with where my son was born and where he grew up before we came to Perth, WA. Places I visited included: The Park at 59… Continue reading Darwin Trip for Kyle’s Birthday 23 Nov 2017
Every two years I get to upgrade my phone on my Optus Contract (I’ve been with them since 1995). This year I upgraded to the new iPhone 8 Plus but in doing so I had problems. You see they told me to back my old phone up to my iMac, which I did. Then sync… Continue reading Look out for Dragonfly Messages
I know it’s traditional not to put up your Christmas decorations until 1st Dec, but I am going to be away for a while. I fly to Darwin on your Dad’s birthday, (Kyle, 23rd Nov 1985) for 9 days to reconnect with where he was born and places he went doing things he loved. It’s… Continue reading It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
All this time I have been visiting the crash site (pics below are from 9th July 2017, (Aug/Sept/Oct hospital) 5th Nov and 21st Nov 2017) since the new cross went up on Cash’s birthday (13/3/2017) and only today did I notice that the date is wrong! When my sister Jacky brought it down from Darwin and… Continue reading Visits to Kyle’s Crashsite – Error on Plaque 21.11.2017
After my meeting at Pinnaroo today I took a trip up to Kyle’s Crash Site on Lancewood Ave in Gigiganup. I go there pretty regularly to connect at the place where he was last alive and put fresh flowers, usually yellow ones there. Today was a bit different, it was my first time on my… Continue reading A Solo Visit to Kyle’s Crash Site 21.11.2017
Today was a sombre but very special day for our family. Christina (with little Piper), Vince and I met with Sue, from Pinnaroo Valley Cemetery, to discuss options available for Kyle’s Memorial. We had looked at internment of his ashes just after the funeral last year but there was nowhere we felt suitable. They were to… Continue reading Choosing Kyle’s Memorial at Pinnaroo Valley 21.11.2017
