Happy 13th Birthday to Melanie

My big girl is finally a teenager. she's been hanging out for this age for SO long.
She left for school this morning, and I came home and did a make over on her room. Painted a feature wall. Decorated with stencil painting, and hung the candle holder I got for her. it looks gr8 and she was in total shock when she got home.
it took me all day, 830 - 245 but its fantastic :D

A Sad Day...

May 26, 2010...
The day I lost my Father In Law.

Dad was diagnosed with a very aggressive strain of Myloma.
On May 26, he lost is battle with Cancer. it was a day I will never forget.

I had moved into my inlaws house (with Glenn & the kids) to help with Dad's Palliative care on Monday the 24th.. by that stage he wasn't getting out of bed for anything more than the loo..

he totally went down hill and then died at 1.07pm. a very quick passing. and Pain free.
The Funeral was held on Monday 31st a lovely service.
