Time has Come

All

As some of you know that visit me here, I have been very distracted and MIA for a little while. Our lives have been tipped upside down in the past few weeks with Family and Friends issues that were greater than us, so I found myself having to withdraw from alot of things to concentrate on the family and friends that needed me and our attention.

Our good friend Kay (hugs)) is still battling with what has happened to her husband and this as been up and down for a while. For us it was the call we got some 4 weeks ago now in the middle of the night. Steve's dad had been raced to the hospital in QLD and they were unsure he would make it through the night. This put the panic into all our lives. So we had that do we go do we stay thing for a while and 2 days later Steve left on his journey. One of the hardest things I have had to do was say goodbye to him and send him on that plane. So I did and threw myself into work and play. Then I get the call to go back to the skin specialist as they are worried about 3 areas on my body for the big C, as I have had bowel C, before they need to be extremely careful. So over the last few weeks we have had biopsy's taken and get the results Friday. In the mean time Steves Dad has slipped into a Coma and there was not a great prognosis. Steve came home after saying his goodbyes, very very hard.

This then went on for another 2 more weeks and on the weekend just gone we got another desperate call about Ray not going to make it. That was Sunday and finally on Monday evening he lost his battle and it was over......... But only really to begin from here. Steve and his family are very disjointed and it is going to be extemely difficult funeral and aftermath. We are flying out early hours Saturday and having a family meeting Sunday the funeral is Monday. Ray is now longer in pain and the indignity he had suffered is now gone. To all a blessing, but never the less a real shock. So between me and my scare and this it has been a difficult 4 weeks.

Hopefully after next week we can move on and count down till our holiday in OCTOBER cant wait. Will be holding onto that thought.

One last thing I did mention this before but to all my cyber friends, who have emailed sms'd, sent messages to the wonderful truly amazing guys at CPC thanks for the most gorgeous flowers and wishes, you know who you are. I am truly blessed for having these friends in my life. I am hoping once back from QLD to rejoing my life a little

Thanks for being patient supportive and most of all just fantastic FRRIENDS

Hugs to you all
