The Parting
Now I know
Three months after mummy was admitted to hospital to
prepare for life in a nursing home, she died quietly at
night on the 23 July 2007.

My mummy was only fifty five years old.
Daddy, my sisters, our family, her friends and I were
very sad and miss her so much.
We again had broken hearts when our sister Belinda died
six months after my mummy.
Daddy was to start riding a motorbike again. Something
mummy and daddy did when they were young. They had
a dream to ride around Australia.
These thoughts are from ten years of daddy’s life ful-
filling that dream.
I have shared that life, for I am more than a pet.
