Happy Valentines Day to everyone who celebrates it. It isn’t really that big a deal here (or at least I don’t think so), so we didn’t have anything planned.
Lucky we didn’t because Pop’s funeral was today.
Good times people, good times. Or not.
I cried and Amy danced and then I got all teary and then Amy ran outside so she spent the funeral playing in the rose gardens with her Daddy.
It was very hard and not something I want to have to repeat in the near future. Okay? You hear me? No one is allowed to die anytime soon.
However, the good news?
We got our settlement date today! Can I get a woo hoo?
29th February!
15 days time!
So we will probably move 4-5 days after we get the keys, but at least now we know where we are at.
WOOOOT!

I hear you on the funeral… we had Nell’s on Tuesday and I spent most of it in tears. And most of the drive up to Gladstone yesterday in tears as well.
But I have nothing but a huge smile on my face now because you get to settle at the end of the month! Wooohoo!!

The funeral is always a tough one. The trick is to continue the mourning and connecting process in a healthy way. Bringing the bush to the new house is a lovely way to do it. Spending more time with Nan will be a blessing to her.
Hooray for the new house.

I’m so glad that your day of sadness was tempered by good news. Congratulations. On the other hand, it works the other way round, too. Your good news was tempered by your day of sadness. At least the sadness will pass – and you will always have him in your heart and in your memory.
BTW – are you going to be on a water tank in your new place?

I find the image of Amy dancing and playing profound. Life continues, and she has his spirit in her. Beautiful. *hugs*
YAYAY @ the settlement – not much longer now!

Pop will undoubtedly be part of your memories for a long, long time. So will Amy dancing. A lovely metaphor for a wonderful life, right?
😉 on the settlement date. Make sure you christen all of the rooms as soon as you get the keys. {wink}

Wow! What a crazy day of emotions for you. I’m sure that Pop is at peace and smiling down upon you as you make this big leap for your family. Yay for big yards!

cool header..
*big hug* I hope the day wasn’t too hard. Ultimately I think it’s amazing that life gives us ups and downs. The sadness of a funeral, the beauty of Amy, the happiness about the house, the tingling of the anticipation. We wouldn’t want it any other way or life would be really boring.
P.S. – love the new look of the site!

Oh sweetie…It’s been an emotion roller coaster for you this week I’m sure. I’m glad you now have a light at the end of the tunnel.

Kelley’s last blog post..Happy Valentines Day
Woo hoo! congrats! 🙂
(And sorry, again, about your grandfather.)
Oh, big hugs, darlin’.
And woo DAMN HOO! on the house. That is beyond awesome. Good luck with moving with a 17 month old…It’s much fun trying to pack and watch a toddler simultaneously!
We moved when Thor was somewhere around Amy’s age and he was devastated when his crib disappeared…We always have something familiar for the kids when we moved, especially their baby quilts and a favorite stuffed animal — sometimes they are swell with the whole thing, and sometimes the upheaval is kinda traumatic.

Oh there’s definitely WOO and HOO too. YAY!! Do you have far to move, like miles and miles? Or just across town? Around the block? You’ll still be close enough to drop in on your Mum so Amy can roam the strawberry patch?
Funerals are hard. I’m sorry.
But the good news is GOOD! Hurray for the new house!
