day four

still yet to see my brother...things are much the same... no news of signs of life for two days now... big thanks to every one around the world for flying in to help search for loved ones... life has changed as we know it and to know the world is here with us gives a sense of peace.. still many tears and heart ache.. donating just doesnt seem enough.....

day three...

as the sun rises for another day in christchurch the devastaion is more plain to see... we wake up to sounds of peace, warmth and freedom... then our minds wonder back to our loved ones in christchurch and all that dissapears as we send it down there..
i get to see my brother today for the first time since the quake.... never going to let him go.... its even more precious now... we need to love the ones we are so lucky to have... every day is a blessing... no more taking for granted, ever!

christchurch earthquake

febuary the 24th 2011.... two days after the terrifying earthquake and the death toll raises...
my brother and his family are safe..... so why do i still fear and cry?
is it because of all the distruction... is it the lives lost.... is it the home truth of how close i became to losing my brother whom i love so very much!... no ... its all of the above!
mother nature has its own plan.. and right there... thats the fear .
then to have a web site from over seas blame gay and lesbians causing the earthquake, what a joke... i am truely concerened for the human soul.....

just the start

i am a strong believer in angels, always there to guide and help you.... but what happens when your tested to the point that doubt sets in?
well not long ago i started to doubt ever so slightly when our best friend was diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer that was spreading fast. she had only just got married in April last year to the love her life and they have a beautiful three year old daughter how is wondering why mummy is not home any more and in hospital all the time.
what could we do to help! my wife and i were struggling with the sudden change in our friends life and finding there financial burdon hard to witness. so i came up with a plan..my hair is not that important to me, and yes being a woman it should be! but my wife's hair is important to her, to the point she would straighten it every single day. to fund raise for our friend we took sponsors and shaved her hair off! we managed to raise over 1200 dollars for them. it would have to be the proudest day of my life! i am so very proud of what two people can achieve!
