Firstly I want to send my heart felt sympathy to my dear friend Bec and her partner Daryl. Bec and Daryl were only 3 weeks away from filling their lives with the joy of a sweet baby girl. Sadly, Amelia (Milly) Grace Bartlett arrived into this world sleeping.
To dear Milly,
"If tears could build a staircase
and memories a lane
We would walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again."
To all the victims and survivors of the Victorian Bushfires. My heart goes out to you all.
I am blessed with very special friends. Friends that are loving, loyal, selflessly caring, giving and kind. Qualities like these are worth protecting, so on the 7th February, 2009 a guardian angel went to work, protecting my friends so that they would survive the bushfires and have a home to go home to.
Tara, the panic I felt when I didn't know where you were and the relief I felt when I heard you were ok and had a home to go home to was overwhelming. To Cameron and his family on the Kinglake mountain, cut off from the rest of the world, my thoughts are with you as you rebuild your lives within your community. It saddens me to think of you all going through this turmoil as you grief for the loss of those around you. Thinking of you as you pick up the pieces, rebuild your lives and try to get back to some normality.
A special thankyou to all the CFA firefighters, volunteers, authorities and the people of Australia for coming together and helping out in any way they can. I'm truly proud to be an Australian.
A special mention to our dear friend Scott (also a CFA firefighter). Spending hours upon hours on the fire front, witnessing things we can only imagine and putting his own life at risk. We're proud of you mate!
"Many people will walk in and out of your life,
but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart."
These are the people in my life who have done just that.

Your word are truely amazing, you have gone through a lot this week and I could not have expressed myself as well as you have in your blogg. My thoughts are also with you this week it surely has been a tragic week and it will get better. I clasify you as a wonderful friend and as I have said many times, Friends are like stars, you don't always see them but they are always there.
Keep smiling and healthy
love
Judy
Thanks Andrea.
Yes, I'm with Judy, you worded that just beautifully!
Panic.. there's a word I know a lot about from the last week's events. Especially not having one of my children with me, being in danger and so so scared, was the most gut wrenching feeling, I still am shocked to think how fast it all happened...
Thank you for your love, kind words and thoughts. They all mean so much in these extremely difficult times.
Your friend said a nice thing about friends and stars.. but, I'm sticking with bum cheeks and shit that comes between us, but we always stick together!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Andrea.. xoxo
love to all xoxo
love Tara xx
I just wanted to say; sometimes events happen that are just too big to cope with on your own & that it makes you appreciate your family & friends even more when you know you can just be yourself & be accepted for that. I don't think you would ever get over the loss of a child, but being able to share in your grief with people in your life who are special to you would certainly help a little. Life is too short sometimes, yet there is always opportunities to see things from a different perspective... ...a seed emerges...softly, gently...
