EASTER

Easter 2009

I LOVE this photo.

This photo was taken at our Summer House...


This morning I've had the opportunity to look through images and reflect...


Easter 2009, was quite an exciting time with many plans & dreams and the promise, of a new and better life ahead as we were planning our move to Sweden...whilst our daughter remained behind in London

Today 3 years on (where does time go?)

Easter 2012 I am here in Stockholm with all our 3 children together

The first time since Christmas... and it makes me so happy.

And they are so happy to be together. 

 I have been sitting back, just watching them interact, joking and laughing, play fighting/real fighting, squabbling, playing guitar and singing, dancing, chatting about weird, stupid and wonderful things as only siblings can do...

The last 3 years have been an enormous struggle for our whole family, on every level, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and financially.


  And for our children especially, educationally and socially. 

I feel terribly guilty and saddened for the burdens that my children have endured...

We also realise that in the months and weeks ahead
it will a rocky road that we travel...


At this Easter time especially...

My HOPE is strong

Easter means a new life, a second chance, a new beginning
