Those that have been with us for a while will understand why its taken me so long to write this post. I have had many calls and messages and the first thing I want to say is Paddy is doing OK, he seriously needs to stop taking free helicopter rides though.
Last week was a big week. We had the most beautiful send off for Pat's Mum on Tuesday surrounded by family.
At 2.46am on Friday morning Lily-Mae entered our World and what an absolute blessing she is. Our gorgeous Keira is courageous, strong with a level of grace that blows me away. Jayden is a beacon of calmness that has this incredible love for both Keira and Lily-Mae. They are a family already highlighting how life giving love is.
Friday afternoon, the universe decided to see how strong our love as a family really is, and I can tell you it's unbreakable. Pat was involved in a car accident on the highway, and he was airlifted to St George Hospital. Does it sound familiar? This brought many emotions up for us as a family, both the 4 of us and our extended families. Pat is in good hands, no surgery is required, but time and patience to heal. He has fractures in C7, sternum, ankle and 7 fractured ribs! He is, without a doubt, resilient. I see the brave face he puts on and the heavy heart he tries to hide. Again, we are blessed that he is here.
Thank you, everyone who has reached out the old "Positive Pants" are back on. Today, I am grateful that Keira, Jayden and Nic have shown a level of compassion, love, care and strength that highlights their ability to adapt to what life throws them. That skill serves them well, and both Pat and I are so proud of them.
I will sign off with a reminder to you all to hug your loved ones ♥️
