Congratulations Phil & Lis

Yesterday my older brother Philip got married to a wonderful lady Elisabeth. I had the pleasure of taking the photos of such a beautiful couple. It was a lovely day, the sun was out and the warmth was fantastic. We had a great time, full of love and laughter. Lis is such a joy to be around, her smile just lights up her beautiful face and embraces you to smile along with her. She has the most beautiful family and sister. They have welcomed us into their family as we have to Lis into ours. It was lovely to be happy and joyous and celebrate. I really needed it.

Phil is happy again, laughing and enjoying his new life. It was very special to see the way he was around Lis, it made you feel good. I wish them all the best in their new journey together as husband and wife. To laugh together, play together and love together. Congratulations.

Another Milestone........


Well this week has been quite trying in many ways. I have known that tomorrow was fast approaching and just wished I could stop it. 7 months and it just seems like yesterday that I could hug and kiss my beautiful boy James.

We have had some sad news from the Holmes Family about beautiful Immogen. Immie has relapsed for the third time. It is very hard for her family but as our wonderful Miss Immie is such a battler and fighter we are not giving up hope. As long as she can fight we must all fight along with her. Stand by Fiona, Jason and Kody, offer support and positive thoughts and prayers. This disease is such a tough fight but our precious kids are worth the struggle. The treatment they endure, needles, scans and many procedures amaze us all in the strength they carry. I know I have learnt many lessons from James and many others that are still fighting. We need to remember these brave kids and thank them for how much they have given to us and everyone that they have touched. We should be very grateful for being able to walk, talk, sing and dance. Listen to music, enjoy the sunshine, treasure our children and be happy to have the chance to make things better.

Some days are harder than others but as we are left behind we must make the most of it. I know James would tell me to stop crying and it will all be ok. I just wish for one more hug, one more moment............

Sending good thoughts, vibes and prayers to the Holmes Family, stay together, help each other and wipe the tears together.
Family is what life is really all about.
