The Circle of Life

I'm going to try and write this post in a way that doesn't distract from the grief or the joy that has come in one day, I hope you understand.


In 1984 we took a family holiday to Holland, I was 5 and just loved our coach holidays. On this trip we met a very special couple from where we lived, called Harry and Audrey. They soon became my adopted Grandparents. We have spent some fantastic times together over the last 23 years.

Sadly, time passes quickly and yesterday I received the news that Audrey had passed away, with failing health taking its toll.

On the same day we also received some fantastic news that our friends Mark and Sheri gave birth to their first daughter Abbie Mae, beautiful news that we had been waiting for. We are so pleased for them and wish them all the love in the world. They are going to be amazing parents.

It was difficult saying goodbye to those we love so much when we left to start our new life, especially so when we knew that there would be some we would never see again.

But here we are, the circle of life, where as one beautiful life ends another amazing one will now begin...
