2007 - Looking back

Looking back at the year 2007, good and very tragic sad times.

Two major highlights new job in SA and Isla Mae born 10 Dec.

Two very heart felt departures Auntie Irene and JD Ashton.

Gravity and Depth are the only two words I can find to explain "I", she was an amazing mother to three beautiful daughters and a non stop attention giving Nana to all in her care. To the extended family as well - the Fire Cracker Chinese Restaurant in Perth will never be the same!

Jonathan Ashton was a lad that I fell head over heals in love with, left home to live with in Philip St in Toowoomba QLD, and stayed a solid friend over the last decade or more with.

To the point of walking past each other on opposite sides of Market Street in Fremantle a few years back and not able to turn around and catch up with him and Shauna fast enough.

My most cherished memory of JD is being introduced to Grover - the wonder dog.
The love he showed this animal was a cementing moment in my life that left a mark of a amazing man.

So on 25th Dec 2007 - no call to JD for HAPPY BIRTHDAY, just a quiet moment to say thank you and smile.

I was thinking of him yesterday as I uncovered his CV in a pile of papers at home. And I still can't delete his emails - in a strange way he still keeps on talking through them.
