It’s been a busy and stressful couple of days. I’ve had my family here since Saturday, which has been a really nice change from the sad. We had a whole hotel full of people, including my Aunty Sue, the mother of Charlotte, who passed away, and her husband, my Nana, my cousins, including Emma, who’s one and GORGEOUS, my two other cousins, my uncle Robert and uncle Michael… talk about a gathering.

Even though it was so sad and stressful, it really made me realise just how much I miss being here in Sydney and seeing my family. They’re such a big part of my life and I miss them terribly when I’m away. I think it’s brought us closer though. Like my Nana said, I’m glad that we are a close-nit family, and not not speaking to each other. My mum’s like that with her family, and i’m fairly sure most of them don’t even know how sick she’s been. It makes me so happy to know I at least have half my family there for me. :)
