Have you got a Will

I can’t recall if I have mentioned this on this page previously or not but as one of our children attend an appointment today to prepare theirs I felt it was worth mentioning .

Shelb didn’t have a Will – why would she ? She was only 18 . It wasn’t something we had ever contemplated needing .

If you have started working chances are you have “stuff” maybe you have a superfund . You would definitely have a bank account .

You need a basic Will . You need to look at a Power of Attorney (this kicks in if you are injured and can’t act for yourself )

If you don’t know how to go about it send me a private message and I will offer you a couple of choices .

Just put something in place

Donate Life Week

Donate life celebrate/thank/remember everyone who has ever been touched by their organisation in the last week of July early August .

If you knew Shelbi or Isaack and think your workplace or school might like to get involved please touch base with me or the organisation.

It doesn’t have to be about raising money . It can be an awareness / decision raiser . Being a donor isn’t just a box on your licence . You need to register . It’s still a simple process takes less than 5minutes .

How proud would that Ranga that you all clearly loved be if she could be part of increasing the registrations in Tassie this year .

It’s not for everyone but if you believe that you want to be a donor and haven’t registered don’t wait until tomorrow jump on and register .

Make sure you share your decision with family and friends xx

Sitting on the Edge

It’s when you spend the day fighting the waves . Feeling like your treading water . I didn’t lose it . I just felt a bit like it was a day of going through necessary motions.

Those of us who have experienced this kind of loss will know what I mean .

We had a busy day with the grandkids – they keep me busy and I love having them . I painted a smile on my face and kept going . I know Shelb and Isaack would want us to focus on the young ones .

Rosie talks about Auntie Squizzy all the time . I am so pleased she is old enough to remember her and I am so pleased Shelb got to be an Aunty .

Facebook Memories

Facebook cops flack for being a breeding ground for abuse and negativity but it can also give us precious memories .

It’s like flipping through a photo album .

Shelb loved a good Facebook paste – she didn’t always pose and if there was a duck face it was over the top and for a bit of fun .

She would of loved the current MAFS memes .

Please when you see a memory tag me in it .

Seeing the world

Just spoke to the wonderful lady at Donatelife – she gave me an update on Shelbis “gift “to people .

We aren’t allowed to post specifics but I’m pleased to advise she has assisted 4 people in improving their quality of life . That makes a total of 5 people .

She would be very happy about that xx

Go Facebook

Go Facebook ! Bring on the software that will issue warnings to all the spineless text warriors who chose to be little or bully other people on Facebook . I have become friends with many of Shelbi Cate Berechree and Isaack Cooper friends since a accident took their lives so part of my “new life” will also be making sure I don’t read of any senseless deaths.

If your too gutless to say it to the person face maybe you should keep it to yourself .

There was record number of youth suicides last year . It’s got to stop . Anyone being bullied on Facebook remember that . Show your parents – aunts – any family member – your principal – or show me Xx – remember it’s gutless it’s childish .

If you think any of your friends are being bullied report the bully xx

Life is a gift xx it can be taken without warning anytime xx

Bad day

Waking up in the middle of the night thinking of you is now a habit .

I know I have so much else to be thankful for and so many other people that love me but it somedays just doesn’t feel like it’s enough. Xx

This morning is one of those mornings . I say morning because generally if I pull myself together by lunchtime I will be okay .

Waves – this morning was a tidal Wave xx
