Last year I think we all did well to just get up and get on with it .

This year I promised myself I would get healthier and whilst the scales are slow I am feeling better . Both in body and mind .

Shelb and Isaack I’m sure you have seen what we have planned for your on going memory . I’m hoping to have news regarding this soon .

I’m posting less because in truth I don’t have time ! Walking morning and night and a full day of work doesn’t leave much left for a post .

I’ve also joined the Donate Life Committee for Tas so expect Donate Life posts to continue to stain your walls as I am passionate about having Tassie reach a 80% registration per population .

Thankyou to everyone for your continued support for Go Casual for Shelbi and Donate Life we truly appreciate it.

Hanging the Boxing Day photo with a few notable absences Shelb Isaac Dad (who would of loved this place) Sarah (who was working ) Mum ( didn’t feel well enough to come this year )

Have always loved photos as did Shelb . Social media often gets a bad wrap but for us it is truely a blessing as our kids still pop up and say “Hey” on a regular basis .

My hope is that their friends continue to share their memories as they pop up on their phones . I know the younger ones who loved her appreciate it . They help keep her alive in their minds .

I don’t think I have ever appreciated my leave as much as I did this time .

On the whole I think the family and I did very well at what will always be a difficult time of year for me and everyone who loves Shelb and Isaack . I say “loves “not “loved “as their physical absence has not changed how any of you feel about them or Isaacks and My families.

The calls , messages and beautiful gifts continue to support what I always say “their circle was chosen wisely”

One of my favourite photos from their beach send off is attached . All Shelbs friends from MBH . They asked me if it was okay to take it . Again what a beautiful respectful group who I now proudly call friends xx

As we start our second year without them physically present I know you all think about them frequently and I hope that when times are tough you continue to reflect on the lives / futures they lost and that it is now your jobs to live your best lives for them . “Be somebody who makes everybody feel like somebody ” if you haven’t checked out or weren’t old enough last year check out the donate life site – maybe you have a sibling who is now old enough that you can talk to and show how easy it is to register and most importantly “don’t be shit”

Catch up with you soon

Over the weekend while your doing the chores or driving to your latest adventure have a listen to Elle’s Podcast .

The latest episode is about Shelb and different measures I have put in play to get through the year but she has spoken to many inspirational working mums .

Elle is also expanding into an income driven “portion ” in regards to the podcast and made a commitment to Go Casual for Shelbi and the Scholarship we are in the process of officially establishing . Any support you can throw Elles way will help the Scholarship. Please make time to check it out

allow others to continue to see the world through your eyes xx

This was my biggest wish for Shelb who left this life way too soon xx

To date two individuals have had their site improved because of Shelb and their are another two opportunities remaining. I get comfort in her still seeing the world xx

Today I spoke to the lovely Elle / creator of “Mum you’ve got this ” for anyone who picks up this page because of the podcast please refer to the Facebook page for past posts . It appears between August and today they haven’t been sharing between sites ! I believe I have fixed it now .

One of our biggest days so far this holiday . Went to Fitzroy island visited the turtle hospital . Imagine our faces when we saw the name of one of the turtles !

We also left a tiny bit of Shelbi Cate Berechree and Isaack Cooper on the beach directly in front of the turtle hospital . Shelb loved it and I am sure she would of returned as a volunteer had she been given the chance ( Isaack you would of had to do as you were told so you are there too mate xx) beautiful day beautiful weather and whilst I didn’t manage to swim with the turtles we had a beautiful day

🙂

Anyone who knew Shelbi Cate Berechree knew she loved to sing and perform. We can all chose songs that make us sad when we remember them – I have a few of them – I also have Guy Sebastian’s-Choir .

I like to think she’s up there taking the lead making the moves
