This is where it gets tricky....

We spent Tuesday & Wednesday just being with mum. I went up to the lookout by myself to watch the sunset and feed the wallabies... I enjoyed doing that, I got time to think and pray.

On the Tuesday I went and visited my dad at his new workplace - it was his dream job. The people he worked with were just LOVELY...truly! I was so happy for him

I slowly started texting friends, sharing what was going on... it was hard, so hard to tell people, seeing it written was so difficult, I couldn't talk about it, all I could do was text or email. I occasionally answered a phone call. My mum is so special to my friends.

Wednesday morning, Kirsty and I decided to go see Eclipse... good times... movie was ok, I'm not a real vampire movie fan, but in the midst of everything going on, I just wanted to go do something different.

After the movie, we went home, mum was in bed, REALLY unwell. Mum asks to go to the hospital. We wait for dad to come home from work, he rings mum's kidney specialist in Lismore, he tells us - mum needs to get to the closest major hospital to get her kidney stabilised (mum had a kidney transplant 5.5 years ago - another long story in itself. If you are not organ donor go to Donate a Life )

That afternoon, I'm sent on a round trip to Townsville, an hour and a half away. Scarey drive. Dad prays the whole way in the back seat, mum and I listen to a Hillsong CD, I worship, she's too sick, but i know she was worshipping. We arrive at the gynecologist, as they suspect it's ovarian cancer. Mum and dad are with the specialist for over an hour. I'm praying and texting a friend the whole time. Mum is referred to a gyno-oncologist in Brisbane. Three kangaroo's, Two rabbits and an owl later, we're home.
