Thank you

Thank you everyone for your love, support and prayers during this past week while I've been in Western Australia visiting my Mum and Dad.  I would not have had the strength to go through what I have, supporting Mum, looking after Dad after he rallied on Monday and then coping with his passing on Thursday morning, without knowing that all my wonderful friends in blogland were with me every step of the way.  I can never thank you enough for your kindness and love.

I will be staying in Western Australia with Mum until mid May, hoping that my presence here a little longer will be of some comfort to her.

I am going to finish this post with some photos in remembrance of my Dad.  

Take care everyone and remember to tell your family you love them.

  9. Wonderful photos and memories Anne.........
    Staying longer with your mum will be a great help and comfort to both of you I'm sure.

    Sit and have lots of cuppas and talk and laugh, remember with love and build more memories to carry with you.
    It's never easy so allow yourself time.......
    Just a thought before I go, perhaps you could write some little notes. Words of love and encouragement to your mum and put them in unexpected places. She'll find them in the days/weeks after you've gone home and they will be a lovely surprise in her day.
