nstantly there's a lump in my throat and my heart sinks when I read this.

for mums and Dads who have lost their babies.

This is for all mothers who have a child in heaven including myself.
It is cold,
Of course it is freezing cold, it is winter, isn't it.
She turned on the light, the light flickers.
She slipped on her fluffy slipper.
Her baby slide out her body.
Slide out like a fish from her fingers.
His journey had gone to eternity.
Tears shed to wet her face.
There is a lump in her throat.
She swallows and she reads the poem her friend had given her.
Tomorrow she will bury her son.
She will read the poem at his little grave.
This poem was given to me. A Campomelic baby has been called to heaven.

Ambury Farm



Four reasons why Ambury is one of Auckland’s best

Rhododendron

I think, it's a variety of Rhododendron or in other name, Asalea. This plant genus lives in the mountains, on acid soils, and is highly appreciated in atlantic-temperate cimates, like The British Isles. There are numerous cultivars both decidous, and evergreen.

Dec 22, 1979
This was our wedding, 22 December 1979. It was a simple wedding with friends and relatives. The Service was inside the church. The reception was at the downstairs of the Auckland Tabernacle. We went to Albert Park to take our photographs. Luckily it was a fine summer day.
A reader suggested I show a pix of the cake made by Claire Hart. Here it is. It was a traditional Kiwi wedding cake with hard royal icing.
I am always grateful to Gertie Chamberlin,chairman of the ladies service committee who organised the service.
We were two young green horns, fresh from the university. We did not know the etiquete of sending "Thank You" cards.

My journey with Cancer


当你遭受了悲剧的惨痛时,你就会改变。当你经历过接踵而来的悲剧时,你就会建立
起自己的韧性,产生反弹能力。你必须的。
我写这本书原本没什么目的,尤其是当我五月份刚写完第一部分时。我写这本书不是
出于无私的原因,也不是因为金钱。我为自己而写。写作对我来说是宣泄。在写作过程中,
我也在为你而写。对我的新读者来说,在第一部分中,我成了一位丧儿母亲,并埋葬了我
的宝贝儿子。
在 2018 年 8 月 15 日,我因为被确诊患上了癌症,就接受了手术治疗。我的手术是赶
在癌症扩散之前做的。
我的建议是,如果您或您的家人或朋友有肿瘤,请去做检查。结果可能是平安无事,
也可能遇上最糟糕的情况。癌症是一个令人害怕的词,但如果及时发现,是可以治愈的
