This is my youngest daughter Ashlee who is 20 years old with my friends daughter Lily from Church.
Ashlee was an avid swimmer and placed 4th

My husband Greg (right) with one of our much loved church members Bart.
Greg is a passionate, caring and gentle man. He enjoys
working with wood, and generally tinkering in the shed.

He is my best friend!
A photo of Greg and I on our wedding day 29th September 2001.
We had a beautiful garden wedding.
With two flower girls dressed as fairies blowing bubbles and my daughter as bridesmaid.
Here is a little something I shared with Greg once upon a time, it means a lot to us, I hope others can also find something in these words.
Risks
To laugh is to risk appearing a fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out for another is to risk involvement
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To live is to risk dying
To hope is risk despair
To try is to risk failure
But risk we must...
Because the greatest risk in life
is to risk nothing.
One who risks nothing
does nothing
has nothing
is nothing.
He may avoid suffering, but he simply cannot
learn, feel, change, grow, love or live.
Quotes
Love cures people
both the ones who give it
and the ones who receive it.
Rainbows apologise for angry skies
Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful,
we must carry it within us or we will find it not.
The mistake you make is in figuring it out!
There is much dignity in tilling a field
as in writing a poem.
If there is no God, who pops up the next Kleenex?
Every heart that has beat strong and cheerfully
has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world,
and bettered the tradition of mankind.
If you cannot convince them, confuse them.
The universe is looking less and less like a great
machine and more and more like a great thought.
When angry, count to ten! When very angry
count to one hundred!!
All of us could take a lesson from the weather.
It pays no attention to criticism.
Work to become, not to acquire.
Inspiration.
