Sunday evening

Had a very quiet weekend. Dylan passed his cold on to me, think i have sufficiently blasted it away with vitamins and rest. Gran's service was today. As i am writing this everyone is gathered at the house. We had our own "remembrance" here so it has been a quiet day..just one of the many reasons i love my husband..he has been amazing this week, he helped set up a "balcony 'remembrance' garden" and organised a little memorial for gran..knowing how much she meant to me and how difficult it was being far away from the family! It meant so much and made it easier. Thanks Ciro!!
Will post some pics in the week.

Finally Friday!!

It has been a bit of a downer as far as weeks go. Dylan has also not been able to shake this cold and on top of it he is teething. I can see the tooth coming through this morning, so hopefully he will feel a bit better at the weekend. On the home front, a service is going to be dedicated to gran on Sunday, the fam will attend and then have tea etc at home. Mom is a bit worried as she mentioned this at work. She works in an African school and it is the african custom to visit your coworker and eat a plenty on the day of a funeral. Not too sure how many people she should expect on Sunday.
All for now. .. Pics are of the little guy who thinks he is a cat lately watching TV lying on the back of the sofa, loving his peanut butter and a result of me messing around with the software bundled with the camera.

Farewell to a lady

It has been a bitter-sweet weekend. It was Dylan's birthday and then on Sunday night my gran passed away at 8:30 SA time. We got the call at 3am . She has been bed-ridden for a long time and it is not unexpected. That does not make it any easier though. We were especially close when i was a child and she taught me so many things. It is really dificult being so far away now. we were there at Christmas and said our goodbyes as we were not sure that we would see her again. At least the whole family was together for her last Christmas. If i were to sum my gran up in one word it would be " lady". Although she has not been herself for a long time and i know that this is better for her in a way , i will miss her!
