I was lookig through some friends blogs last night and realised that I hadnt been on here for a while. Then I looked and realised that it has been over a year!!! eeek. Bad blogger. Anyway, I have been thinking about family a lot lately as a friend (mainly friend of a friend) lost her son recently. Then on Australia day, we learn that she also lost her husband and best friend. I have felt such sadness and heartache for her and her 3 other sons as they grieve such a loss. It is unimaginable but she is a truly beautiful, strong and courageous woman - a woman that most women would want to be like as women, mothers and partners. Since hearing this tragic news, I refectede on the realtionships I have and began to appreciate, love and respect my family a whole lot more. I love and cherish my family to bits but there are times when we take each other for granted. I really want to change that and cherish every moment of our lives, the good and the bad. I love them to pieces and today is mine and Jules wedding anniversary so I am extra sentimetal (those of you who know me know I am emotional anyway!!)I love that man like crazy (even though he sometimes drives me nuts!!). He has always been there for me and we respect and love each other so much. WE have remained committed even though there have been times when it has been pretty stressful. It can be very challenging being a working woman, a step mother, mother and wife. But we support each other and do the best we can. There are challenges and following my recent reflection on family, love and happiness, I am so grateful to have my husband, children and step children in my life. I cant imagine a life without them. Anyway, enough mushiness and I will share some pics of my much loved family!!
