It's been a month..

Okayyy, so it's taken me a while to get on this. And I had intended to write this when I got home two weekends ago, however, I was soooo super busy with so much other stuff and so many other people to see, I ran out of time. But, I'm home again, and I'm going to finally update you all:)

Here was me last night with Suzanne. We went to some nice little restaurant for a big dinner. Mum had originally planned for there to be 38 there in total. She never knew my dad had phoned them up to add in two secret extra chairs. One for me, and one for my brother. So on Wednesday, her actual birthday, my brother showed up in Weatherspoons, from Australia..and asked if he could take a seat. My mum didnt look up and was wondering why a random guy was asking her if he could sit. She then took a double glance at the "man" and realised, with tear-filled eyes, that it was my brother. I then decided to show up at the dinner last night, and gave her, yet, another surprise. It was so much fun getting to be a part of her special night. And I'm so great full for all the people who have played such amazing parts in my mums life :) 
There was only one person missing from that night that I can think of and it was Fiona McQuaker. One of my mums closest friends from when we lived in Elgin. It took so long for me to understand why God would let someone so wonderful and amazing die. Yet I quickly realised it was all part of His plan. And it's so comforting to know she's in the best place she ever could be. And I can't wait to join her! Free of pain. I thank God for Fiona's life, and the many amazing times she gave and had with our family. I know if she could have been here physically, she'd have been sitting right next to me. But instead she will have been gazing on, with a massive smile on her face celebrating my mums 50 years. 

So here's a couple pictures from the dinner :)
