The life that is….me!

At 11pm on Wednesday 27th October a good man lost his battle to live. Sadly Uncle Vin was taken suddenly from us. I have been told it was due to a blood clot going to his brain.

It was sad news to wake up to, but we had been told on Tuesday the doctors didn’t expect him to make it through the night as he had toxins going through his body. My heart goes out to Dad as he flew home from a 3 week trip in USA with Renee to such devastating news 🙁

Uncle Vin battled the odds for 3 very long months in hospital, but just couldn’t hold on any longer. My thoughts and prayers also go out to his beautiful partner, Darielle, who has supported him through this tough time despite the problems family have given her.

Darielle is an amazingly strong lady and she will miss Uncle Vin deeply.

May you forever Rest In Peace Uncle Vin. Love you and always will.

Today Jasmine Emily turns 3 🙂

3 years ago today, at 12.06am Miss Jasmine entered the world. Each day has passed and she has grown so much. We love you sweetheart. Enjoy your special day!

From small things:Come BIG things:

Who would have thought Miss J could be turning 3…TOMORROW!

I remember this date 3 yrs ago very clearly. Id gone to the hospital in the early hours of the morning, convinced she was about to be born, only to be told i was only 1cm and that was only because id had a baby before and it gave me a head sart!! I cried most of the day cos i thought i was never going to have my little girl. She was already 4 days late and not budging! Wasnt until 6pm at night things were getting ouchy and i was hanging over the ledge near the door screaming to Craig ‘Get me a F**KING epidural right now!!!!!!’…..

Ah the memories of such a beautiful day.

Oh man…im sacked from this Birthday posting, im late again AND i even remembered about it yesterday…so:

Happy Birthday to Grandma Anne (Craigs Grandma). We hope you had an awesome day!

Back in August Chelsea had her ABC school photos taken. They look great, but the ones below dont look the best cos i had to take photos of the actual pics cos we dont have a scanner. Just click on the pics to make them bigger 🙂

Im shocking!

Happy Belated Birthday to Mat’s gorgeous girlfriend Kate for the 9th October!

We hope you had a lovely day 🙂

Dear Melanae Lily,

Today would have been your birth day, when you would have met Mummy, Daddy and your 2 sisters and brother for the first time. Sadly though, you will never know them, and we will never meet you.

You were taken from us to soon and i will always remember the day we said goodbye.

Things happen for a reason, and i have accepted that you just couldnt hold on.

We will always love you sweetheart, you will never be forgotten.

Enjoy playing in the skies above as you watch over us every day

Love Mummy 

On Thursday Craig took 2 of our cats to RSPCA as we cant afford to look after all of them and its costing a fortune in food. It wasn’t an easy decision, but one we had to do. Ive tried to re-home them alot, but never had much success. RSPCA have told us they have a good chance of being re-homed ands that they are lovely natured cats.

Ill miss you Dexter and Pixie 🙁

Ive been having a number of issues at home and with Chelsea in particular. I was suggested she pick up an extra day at school. This morning Kathy left to go home, Craig had to go into the office and in my current state i lost it. Craig called Helen to see if Chelsea could get in today, which she could!!

So Chelsea is at school 3 days a week now 🙂

It will be really good for her i think.

Today is my dads 60th birthday.

Happy Birthday Dad / Pa, we hope you have an awesome day. Cant wait to see you on Friday 🙂
