A Sad April

Last week of April wasn't the best week of the month. Sadly my Auntie died on Monday morning of 27 April after a short battle with cancer.  I only seen her 8 days before the worse of the cancer set in.  Within 3 weeks (between two scans) the cancer rapidly spread throughout her organs, bones and her brain but in the last three days of her life was the worse situation of all. The poor thing!! 

I am grateful I had the opportunity to see her on the school holidays and said my goodbyes to her then as we all knew she was terminally ill.  Just no one wasn't expecting to hit so fast!! Sadly I didn't attend to her funeral as I met to had a Friday night commitment on but it was postponed due to a super wet day in Brisbane.

Other than that, I had a busy month with school holiday activities.  The first week I spend time with my girls.  On that weekend I spend time with a family friend who was in town for afew days.  We went dining out for dinner and seen a movie on Saturday night. On Sunday we had a day at a theme park.

In the second week Monique and I had afew days away up north.  The purpose of this trip was to see my belated Auntie for the last time but we managed to spend time with afew of my other relatives and friends of mine. And went shopping and social bowling.

Back to school for term 2 started on 20 April.  On last Thursday Rachel's school had their annual cross country event.  Good timing really as we had a super wet Friday with heavy rain and thunder for hours.  A lot of roads were flooded so it was a long journey for motorists to get home from their destination that evening. Normally it takes me 30 minutes drive to my bf's but it taken me 3 hours to drive there that night.  He was such a sweet heart to wait for my arrival so late! We had a hamburger with the lot that night.  He even made the meat patty himself!!

I hope everyone is well and will enjoy the month of May.  To all readers who still have a mum, enjoy your Mother's day with her this Sunday.
