We recently had to say goodbye to Peanut and Shrimples cousins and Aunt
and Uncle (my brother).
They are
moving to the other side of Australia and I wish them the best we don’t get to
see them much any way being a 5 hour drive from each other but when the cuz’z
get together it’s a blast. My brother Flash, is a hands on dad with his girls
Boop (5) and Bee ( 3). He runs
after the kids lets them climb all
over him and is genuinely hilarious to all children they love him always have. He is the dad at the park making
all the kids laugh by playing the fool. Peanut usually takes a while to warm to people but Flash and Raven( my sister in law) have a way
of cracking through Peanuts shell pretty darn fast.
So all the kids run around having a ball being eaten by
monsters and dinosaurs and using
up all their energy and imagination, we all get involved. We had a really great day but it
was an emotional good bye (we are
the sort of family they don’t need to live anywhere near each other to still be
close) recently Flash and Raven have been having a not so great time. Flash
damaged his ankle on the job over 4 years ago and its
been pretty stressful on them all
he has been the stay at home dad with the girls and doing some odd jobs here and
there and Raven has been the main earner. Raven was offered a job over in
Canberra and it was too good to
miss out on.
On friday the 13th (yep I know bad luck and all) two weeks before moving they
found out Raven had Cancer yep the
dreaded C word, Crappy crappy crapy ole Cancer. Raven had surgery on friday (for
the second time in a few weeks) and will start on radiation therapy once
they move to Canberra.
It all
looks like its going to turn out okay but its been a rough ride for them.
I guess this post of my
way of acknowledging them and letting them know how proud of them I am. They
just keep fighting and striving for the future with their amazing girls.
Both Boop and Bee have hearts of gold, are really smart and
incredibly beautiful and I know they will grown into amazing strong women. Xxxx
