Can The Week Start

On a bleaker note? Today saw us attending the funeral for a mate of Justin's. Mathew Peter Coombs was only 26 years young when we placed him into cold earth today. I was bawling as soon as they walked the coffin out of the church. Parent's are not supposed to bury their children. It is suposed to be around the other way. You know I really admired Mat's wife Kate...she was the tower of strength to watch....I can only try to imagine how she is feeling inside.

The saddest part is Mat has a liver transplant 10 years ago....I was never aware until I met Mat that a transplant only lasts 10 years......he desperately needed another one & spent all but 2 weeks of this year in hospital in Sydney with his courageous wife by his side. It has made me take a look at the fact Justin aka Shrimpy will need his transplant one of these days in the not too distant future...what if it all goes to pot for him? What if it is me putting my son in the cold earth? That is what tore me apart the most today....it could well be us one day mourning the death of our son from the very same complications. Long shot & people may say I am reading to much into this but it is something that was told to us could well happen in the long term. Because of this & a few other things I am takng the week at least off from the CIS Sketch Blog....I really need to focus on home for a little bit. I also pulled out of Mystical Masters. I just can not cope at the moment with it all....plus Bek is off to J-Rock next month so we are focussing on the rehearsal's for that. Life is never dull here....wish it was at times you know.

Our weekend was a raw emotional one due to this being on our minds as well as other issues rearing their heads. We went out to Buttai Barn with friends for dinner on Saturday night...was a good night filled with laughs yes the trusty camera was there too! Jessica learnt to bush dance too...was funny to watch her doing the Barn Dance with all these older people...she loved every second of it...they even taught her the Macarena!

I was trying to get a photo of hubby & I...as you can see it didnt work...Dont you just love his expression?!?!?! Goose! LOL

Anyway I am off..time to organise dinner....then maybe reading a book..early night planned here...am wrung out today.

Dont forget to love one another!
