sad, sad christmas

Well , after the expectation of a nice Christmas with the family.... as Ive stated in a previous post we moved my father in law up from the gold coast... he had a soft spot for Hervey Bay and after being diagnosed with Mesothelioma he wanted to spend his what time he had left in the place he loved ....unfortunatly on Xmas eve, after having a bout of chemo a few weeks before he developed a temp and trouble breathing, much to his resistance we had to help him to an ambulance and admit him for care.... we sat buy his bed side 24/7 over Xmas day and boxing day with him fighting all the way but unfortunately he finally said good buy at around 6.15am on the 27th of December..... Barry was loved dearly buy my wife and her sister unfortunately he and there mother separated 15 years ago ... but to her credit she was there for the girls and barry in his time of need... he was happy to see her and forgave her for leaving him, he still loved her after all these years and never moved on... so it was nice for him to tie up loose ends ..... R.I.P Barry Dallinger ...thinking of you always and lest we forget your big smile and the joy you brought your girls.....   

My Year in facebook status ........

My Little bro and his lovely wife welcomed a new arrival the other day, I'm closest to my little bro so this one is extra special ... amids all the goings on at the moment I thought post a little welcome to my little neph pic.( Baby Elijah Paul Hubbert Born 2-12-2010 55cm long, 8p14.5oz )... life never ceases to amaze when little wonders come into our lives no matter how many times we experience it ...

it always pull at the heart strings

Very proud Mum, Dad and Poppy

Very proud dad today ....my little princess was awarded an "Academexcellencence" award today, an award fachievinging an over all A on her report card for this year.. its a bit of sunshine at a gloomy time in our lives and her poppy was there to see it which put a smile on his face you will never replace.... so just a little bit of totally bias bragging..hehe, but worth every moment, watching her grow ..

what possesses a man ....??

What possesses a man to rip the labels from all the Christmas drinks stash and go on line and painstakingly fill in codes of 12 and then punch in codes of 12 more to reward himself with the spoils of a ( probably made in china) egocentric retro soft drink tshirt !!!!!!..OMG, what has become of me ....lol
