Happy new year to everyone who takes the time to read and comment on my blog , here is a look back on a year i wish to forget ((except for some bits of it )) ,
the year started out with my son drew in hospital fighting for his life with a staph infection that he picked up in the local river , after some weeks of recovery things started to go back to normal only to have the same son bashed by a 40 year old leaving drew with some mental disabilities .
We cruised through to the middle of the year and everyone in my house became ill with swine flu and as most of you know i was the one who came out the worst with pneumonia and a lung operation .
We had some milestones during the year my eldest son chris was promoted to manager of kmart and he also found himself the most beautiful girlfriend who we all adore .
We sadly lost our fury friend Misty due to a terrible cancer and then we welcomed a new fury member to the family Bella the border collie ...Mason started to talk this year after some months of speech therapy that really took him no where .
Then hubby and i celebrated 8 years of marriage together and a beautiful weekend away to renew our vowes on sydney harbour ...We were thinking this would be the perfect ending to a somewhat shit year of ups and downs ..
But it wasn't going to be this way at all on dec 19 i got the call that all parents dread ...my hubbys son Joshua was in a head on collision with a truck on QLD notorious Bruce highway south of Rockhampton , sadly Joshua passed away in the accident he was only 19 years old and just became a daddy .
So there is my year in review its been a shocking one , who knows why our family have been struck with such horrible happenings but one can only hope for a brighter year ahead .
RIP Joshua John Brown
Oh babe, this year has to be a better one for you all. In fact, I'll just make a wish with this wand that I have here and make sure it will be, just for you....(don't tell Sammi, but I borrowed her wand for a bit..hehehe)!! Now to make the bloody thing work for our family too.......

ReplyDeleteI think most people can relate when we all say Thank F**K 2009 is over!!! It was the year of Hell for most people and I know we are all praying for a better 2010 - So sorry to hear about Alan's Son, no parent should ever have to go through that,
ReplyDeleteTake Care
Hi Eve, thanks for your comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry the swine flu caught up with you. I have 5 kids too, and step-children, have been very fortunate not to have had those things happen except speech therapy, very stressful.
The girlfriend sounds very positive, that is nice, I am pleased for you.
I can relate to the dog cancer thing. We have been very happy with getting a new puppy.
All the best for 2010.
