Moments that change your life

I imagined this blog would be a discussion of ideas related to my professional life. But this week a couple of events have occurred which have made quite an impact.

First, my cousin lost her (almost) 6 year old daughter. Ellie was born with enormous challenges, missing a chromosome and having heart surgery before she turned one. However, she left her mark and was adored by her family. I feel greatly for Ellie, her mother and grandparents. How do you fill your life after losing a child?

Secondly, my husband got a phone call from an old school friend. Unfortunately, the called included bad news as he was informed of the death of an old school friend. Cameron, a teacher, was 41years old and a father of three, the youngest was only born last year. Cameron was riding his motor bike and reports indicate that the 87 year old driver of the car that hit him veered onto the wrong side of the road. The pictures of the accident show it was a lovely blue shy day and the it occurred on a suburban street on the sunshine coast.

Tragic. Tragedy. How hard is life sometimes?

I promise to ALWAYS be nice to my husband. And enjoy each and every day.
(BTW, why is anyone driving a car at the age of 87?)
