TODAY

Craig and I were married in 1980, and fora few years we were our own little family of two.

In 1985, with the birth of Stuart, we became a family of three

In 1989 we became four, when Kirsty was born (I can't find any pics of the four of us when she was a baby, but here we are a few years later)

Twenty years ago today we became (at least on earth) a family of three again...in my mind Stuart is still very much part of us...his memorial stone reads:

A GIFT FROM GOD

LOVED BY ALL WHO KNEW HIM

ALWAYS IN OUR THOUGHTS

It says it all.

It hasn't been easy, but since Stuart's death we vowed that Kirsty's life wasn't to be adversely affected by that one event.... that in itself kept us afloat in the early days....and I hope she feels that we have been faithful to that vow.

So today I want to put in writing that I am grateful and feel so  blessed to have had both our children in my life...believe me, whoever said 'a  mother's  love never dies ' knew what they were talking about.

Thanks for dropping by!

Take care of you
