We had early Christmas at my sister’s place last weekend.  It was the last time I’ll see my brother Zach, my Uncle Neale, Aunty Carol, cousin Abbey, and my Poppa.  

Poppa cried and told me to go out and have the time of my life, told Lou and I to look after each other.. said ‘we love you kids so much’, including Nanna in his words, so it’s like she’s hugging us goodbye too, even though she’s gone.  There were a lot of teary goodbyes! I’m going to miss them all a lot.
