I Am Alive

Sorry I have been MIA for the last week.  We have been so busy.

I will catch up tomorrow with everyone’s blogs once S has gone to work.

S’s Mum & Dad arrived on Sat.  His Dad went home Sun but his Mum stayed until today.  S had the whole time off work so the three of us have been VERY busy.

Also Frankie, who has NEVER been in a kennel but is FULLY vaccinated got really sick through the week.  We took her to the Vet and found she had Kennel Cough.  The Vet told us that young dogs (as well as old dogs) can still get Kennel Cough if they come into contact with it.  We do take her to the dog park a few times a week and last week there was a dog there who’s owner told us her dog had a cough and their Vet told her to stay away from the dog park for 14 days but she didn’t think it was necessary!  So I’m guessing that’s where and who Frankie caught it from.  Poor thing has been coughing so much that she vomits all the time.  The first night she was up ALL night coughing.  I felt so terrible that I couldn’t fix her.  The Vet said we are still fine to take her to the dog park once she is better but we will be responsible dog owners and keep her home for 2 or 3 weeks.  I would HATE someone else’s dog to catch it.

Shes a little better and is on antibiotics as well as cough mixture.  We have to take her back to the Vet in a week to make sure shes getting better.

She is an outside dog and only ever comes in if we have storms but today it has rained so much and she looks so miserable that I brought her in on the tiles.  As soon as I opened the door and told her to come in she picked up her teddy and ran to sit on the mat we put down for her when shes inside.  It was such a pathetic sight!

Sending Hugs To ‘Beautiful Curves’

Bloody hell May is turning out to be a bloody terrible month.

Please pop over to ‘Beautiful Curves’ and give her a huge hug.

Life can be just so unfair. There are just no right words.

2 Years

Two years ago we turned Zak’s ventilator off. Two years ago today our beautiful boy struggled to breath on his own. After 7 hours of fighting hard, many cuddles and kisses from him Mum & Dad it all become to hard. He went to sleep peacefully never to wake again.

He is missed EVERY single day and loved more than I ever though was possible.

Our Afternoon At ‘Zak’s Place’

Wanted to thank you all so much for all your kind comments for Zak, S & I. It just amazes me how there is so much support from so many people who I have never met. To think we all live all over the world but we can be there for each other like we live 5 minutes down the road.

We had a really nice afternoon. We met all our family where Zak’s ashes are scattered and let 2 blue balloons go for him.

We also had some flowers and S and my sister took them down to the water and then we went and had something for dinner. It wasn’t morbid or depressing. Just nice to be with family.

S just wanted you to know we got a beautiful hot pink balloon for Chloe. I will email you all the extra pics we took. Here is just a couple.

M-A we also got Piper, Laine, Houdini & Grover a balloon each. I cant begin to tell you how tangled all these balloons get in the back of our car.

15th May 2006 – A Much Wanted & Loved Baby Boy Was Born

Zak would have been 2 years old today. He would have been opening up loads of presents, having a party with family and friends, running around with his cousins, eating too many lollies, blowing out candles and eating cake. But he’s not. He’s not here where he should be. He’s not playing with new toys. He’s gone!

I feel sick, sad, angry, pissed off BIG time and guilty.

Today we are off to the beautiful beach where Zak’s ashes were scattered. We are going with my family. We will take some balloons and then we will wonder down to the BBQ tables and have dinner together. One little person will be missing but definitely not forgotten.

Happy second birthday beautiful boy. You are so very, very missed but talked about often and loved always.

Love Mummy & Daddy

Men Can Be So Silly

S rings me from work yesterday. He is at a shopping center buying some stuff for work.

He goes to park the work Ute in the undercover car park. (The Ute has a top built onto it so they can carry stock around without it getting wet and so on and it also has some kind of ugly ‘cone’ thing on it. I’m sure men would say its on there for a reason, I just think it looks bloody horrible ha ha)

Anyway …..as he drives into the car park the top of the Ute takes out the ‘low clearance’ sign and a set of lights! The Ute is now stuck. Wedged between the ground and the roof of the car park.

Cars are lined up behind him trying to get into the car park. (God people are stupid. I’m sure a Ute wedged to the roof with broken lights all around is a good sign no one is getting past)

A friendly man and his wife stop to help. The wife stands at the car park entrance and directs all the dick heads to another car park opening. The friendly man and S have to let down all the tires to try and lower the Ute so it can be moved. This would work fine but the ‘ugly cone’ is half ripped off/half stuck to the car park roof. Good job friendly man has a electric drill in his car. He removed the ‘ugly cone’ but the Ute is still stuck. By this time a group of security guards have arrived (with camera for insurance purposes – yeah right). One of the security guards sits in the back of the Ute with ‘friendly man’. Ute is finally low enough to be un wedged.

S’s reason for ringing me and telling me this story ……… He said he knew how much I hated the ‘cone’ on the roof of the Ute and wanted to tell me I no longer have to look at it!

Good job his boss thought the story was the funniest thing he had ever heard.

What Should Have Been

My jolly mood from yesterday has not seemed to have followed me into today.

I’m really not a anti Mothers Day person. I’m a Mum and I don’t mind celebrating it.

Today though I just feel a little off. I think its a mixture of things.

Mothers Day two years ago was the day I went to hospital and then delivered Zak the next day, S is at work today, Thursday coming would have been Zak’s second birthday, I’m hormonal from this pregnancy and I think its all just a little too much. I miss my beautiful boy and I should be in bed with him now having a cuddle.

Just wanted to add that today S gave me a beautiful card for Mothers Day and the ‘Cherish’ Willow Tree figurine. He always knows how to make me feel better.
