Hello Mum & Dad

You know how much you both are missed by all in the family, it’s been 3 years, but it feels so much longer. I still go to ring you at times before remembering I can’t.

Tim has recovered from his accident and is back driving buses, he now drives for Port Stephens Coaches, and he is much happier there. He recently traded the Outlander in, so we now have a Mazza.

Kathy, Micheal and their girls and doing well the girls are both in the over achievers’ classes.

Tasha and Blain are doing well, Blain has a girlfriend Ta’lia who is living with him and Tasha, Tasha is doing a Tafe course in beauty, make-up and message.

Jessica and Leo are doing good, Jess is working as a security guard at the Uni. Leo has changed his name to Sam and is now a transgender girl, this doesn’t sit well with Tim as he feels it is un-natural and goes against the teachings in the Bible. He doesn’t understand how I can be supportive, but I just want Sam to be happy. Sam has a boyfriend named Bailey and is very happy at this stage and that is what matters to me.

I really wish I could talk to you about it all and get your feedback. I miss you so much, words cannot express the sorrow I feel.

Sue and I have become close the last couple of years, she is the one I can now talk to in place of you. When Sue and I are together we laugh so much, when we were children, I remember you saying that we were like twins born 7yrs apart.

You thought we were so much alike, and you were right we are very much alike.

I do not know how I would cope without Sue; she is the one I now talk to and has become my rock; I rely on her so much and she is always there for me.

You would be so proud of how she has pulled her life together unfortunately the only one of her children who is in her life that being Kirsty. The others are missing out and can not see how far she has came in the last couple of years.

Sandra and her kids are now living in a four-bedroom house and you, and dad would be so proud of her, she is devoted to all four children it isn’t easy and there have been struggles but she doing the best she can.

Dawson has grown so much; he now has his licence and another car. He missis you and dad so much and the last three years haven’t been easy for him. Although he has adjusted to living on his own. I know you would be proud of how far he has matured.

As far as I know Dave, Leigh and their girls are doing well. Dave is happy with working at the hospital and Leigh has done so well with her nursing career.

Jeannie and Peter are also doing okay, Jeannie suffered a broken hand last month but is now back at work. Peter is on a disability pension since he had two aneurysms burst in his brain, he still has three brain aneurysms and has to have regular MRI’s to check on them. I often think you and dad would have loved to attend Tom’s wedding, as I know how fond of Tom were both were. Samantha now has three children her son is Xavier who is now a year old.

Well mum I didn’t expect to write so much when I started this but as I wrote it felt like I was talking to you.

I love and miss you both.

Love from
