Our son Shannon 2000-2006.

In loving memory of our darling son Shannon
2000-2006
This poem was handed out at Shan's funeral to remind people that it would be ok to talk about him.
The mention of my child's name.
May bring a tear to my eyes.
But it never fails to bring music to my ears,
If you are really my friend,let me hear the beautiful music of his name.
It soothes my broken heart and it sings to my soul.

We miss you every day my sweet little man....
We might not voice it every day day but you are there in our thoughts. Sometimes I can hear you laughing in my head when I do something silly...(which is quite often as you know) LOL
I love you so so so much and miss you just as much.
RIP Shan....xxxoooxxx

March 2010 Update:

23/3/2010

Well ....how the year is flying past. Grad year is keeping me busy, by the time I get home I am usually to tired to do anything.
So many things to remember....LOL
Anyway on the Army front things have been rather quiet, we had a get together last month. Geraldine taught us how to make Stack and Whack quilts. They look awesome and are quite easy to put together. THANK YOU Geraldine.
The other week I awoke and found a finished quilt at my door. hhhmm I wondered where it had come from....The following week a bike rider approached my door, and voila 2 more quilts....finished mind you....LMAO and the mystery is revealed...Geraldine is dropping them off on her ride past.....God bless your little cotton socks girl.....
So I have decided that we need to have a regular get together again. GIRLS can we make it one Sunday in a month do you think?? We really need to get some quilts finished...Would be nice to do a drop soon.
Love and Hugs

Well obviously I haven't been in for a while, but that doesn't mean I have been lazy...LOL

We had a quilt drop at the Hospital for Easter well just after Easter because I was really crook and didn't want to make the patients any worse then they already are.

University is on break at the moment and I have been taking it pretty easy.....Going to be a bridesmaid for my darling friend Lorraine in August and am pretty excited about all that.....LOL

Couple of weeks ago we did a drop at another Hospital in the Day Hospice section the pateints loved their quilts, and the girls have started on some more quilts already.

Well I think that's it for me for today

Love to all be kind to each other and may the big fella be good to all of us.....
