Coming home

Yesterday we held Terry's funeral at the Sunshine Coast. It was exactly what Terry wanted. He was such a fine gentleman and we will dearly miss him. But he is now with his dear Bing (his wife). They still held each other's hand. He still opened up every door for her (and me!) and pulled out our chair when we sat down. He was a true gentleman. We drove away knowing that he was at peace. It was perfect.

While we are away, Anna Spiro was busy adding her trademark beautiful finishing touches to our home for a photo shoot (more to come on this later). When I walked through the front door this is what I was greeted with. It was like the flower fairy had visited!

Coming home to this was the perfect end to a difficult day. Thank you Anna. I know they are only flowers, but they helped cheer us up a little.

It's a Beautiful Life

Life can feel like a roundabout at times, but it's up to us to make that roundabout ride, fun, meaningful, beautiful and full of love.

And when that ride ends, you can look back and think ... now that was the best ride EVER!

I know that my husband's grandfather will be doing this today.  He certainly can look back at his life and feel a sense of pride.  His chest will be full of love and wonderful memories.

We love you Terry and will miss you dearly.
