Easter Sunday we spent at Pinneroo, enjoying some family time with Kyle as best we could. Unfortunately, we still are not able to see Cash, so he was again missing from our family celebrations, but always in our thoughts and hearts. His cousins Amy, Connor and even little Piper (who has never met him) miss… Continue reading Easter Sunday Family Picnic at Pinneroo
Well yet another year without Kyle or Cash to help us celebrate. I visited Kyle at Pinneroo on the Sunday before (18.3.2018) as I wanted to try to spend a happy day on the 19th and I am always sad at somepoint when I visit him. It was very nice there in the late afternoon… Continue reading YaYa’s Birthday without Kyle or Cash (2018)
Today at 4.00pm the family met in a private dedication of Kyle’s Memorial Rock at Pinneroo. Although it was a somber occasion that we all wished wasn’t necessary, we tried to be joyful for Kyle’s life and celebrate that he was with us. It was also sad that little Cash, his only child, now nearly… Continue reading Dedication of Kyle’s Memorial Rock at Pinnaroo
Another momentous family moment, unfortunately without Kyle or Cash. My parents flew down for the Christening of our youngest family member, little Piper, who also celebrated her birthday (actually 7.3.2018) a little bit early. We also choose to have the dedication of Kyle’s Memorial Rock on Sunday 25.2.2018 so his grandparents could attend. Piper is… Continue reading 24.2.2018 Pipers Christening and 1st Birthday Celebration
Vince and I had booked a trip to Uluru, the unfinished part of our honeymoon cut short by Kyle’s death, in addition to a belated 3rd Wedding Anniversary Celebration and combination with Valentines Day – more bang for our buck! We left on the 11th Feb and returned on 17th Feb and Uluru and Kata… Continue reading Seeing Kyle’s Memorial Plaque in Situ for the First Time
Although Kyle’s sister, Christina had visited the Dog Beach on his Anniversary, I still had not been, as I was recovering from a long trip back from Tassie across the Nulabour doing 800 – 1000km days and was exhausted when I got back. So on Sun 4.2.2018 I finally got down to the dog beach… Continue reading Visit to the Dog Beach where Kyle’s Ashes are.
The third part of Kyle’s Trilogy – the Crash Site, the Beach and now the Memorial Rock at Pinneroo was the last place I needed to visit to honour the 2nd Anniversary of his death. Although we are still waiting for his plaque to be ready so we can dedicate his memorial properly I still… Continue reading 25.1.2018 Flowers for Kyle’s Memorial Rock
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
