For my toddler to finish her meals!

Grandma’s passing – we all knew it was for the best as she wouldn’t be in pain anymore, but it was tough and the weeks became months became years until finally she left us to be at peace and join grandpa in heaven.

Mri results on my spine :s

My baby boy – gosh I felt so sick and unwell, but he sure was worth the wait. Little cherub.

I received a call that my husband was in a helicopter accident and was taken to Parramatta hospital. I was in Canada and had to fly to Australia and those 16 hours on the plane was the hardest as I didn’t know if he would still be alive.

The birth of our first baby,
40 hours in labour,
I started to go crazy,
it got harder every hour.

very young, dad left mom.
grow up to take care of mom & 2 other siblings.

When I was a child, my parents left us kids/teenagers at home to see if our grandpop passed away at hospital after a call from our nan. I dreamt jay night he passed and it turned out to be true

Maturity. When I was a kid it seems to take forEVER to be the grownup I wanted to be!

Wow, just this week as my washing pilled up, my new washer (one week of laundry is scary) – but seriously love – it just takes time.

The many years it took to get pregnant, Endometriosis is not a pleasant condition to have.

A friend’s test results when she had breast cancer and going through the long journey with her and her family. Being supportive and giving her the hope and strength she needed to fight such a terrible disease.

I had to wait twenty three minutes to get a word into a conversation with my son. I wouldn’t have minded but he doesn’t half waffle on about nothing!

Waiting for this competition to end.

When I was pregnant with my son – it was the longest 9 months ever.

Having a pregnancy craving for Beef Vindaloo only to make my order and find out it’s almost two hours away from arriving. I stared at the clock the whole time and when it came I wasnt craving Indian takeout anymore.

Hardest thing ever, waiting for my 43 yr old son to come out of surgery for removal of cancer in his bladder. Why? Because it’s normally an older man’s problem and was it contained in the bladder, or had it spread? If contained, he had a future! That’s why.

Going back in years I had seven children in nine years and had to wait until they were well past walking age before I had a washing machine and nappies had to be washed by hand.

As a mum with two autistic children, my strength and hope are totally toward my family. It is not easy to know that my kids are going to do well in their future. I have to try everything and wait for their responses. Sometimes, I feel very sad and hopeless but I have to do my best and keeping positive thoughts for my family. I have to believe that wonderful things are going to happen to us.

Birth! Geez. That kid took it’s time. 14.5 hours until I met him. Then his brother thought “Bugger that! Hey! Here I am in 40 minutes! Surprise!”
