Life....

Last week, Simon's cousin, Claire passed away. It was quick and oh so tragic. She was only 26. She was young, and vibrant and full of life. (yes I know it's sounding very cliched, but you always knew if Claire was around.

Her funeral was on Saturday. It was heart wrenching. Seeing her poor family come to terms with the loss of someone so young. The thing that got to me the most, was the wake. Don't get me wrong, it was lovely, but it was the sentiment that her mother shared with us that tore me to pieces. She said that the since Claire didn't have a wedding they wanted to spend that money on her anyway - gut wrenching!

In a vague attempt to cheer myself up I have attempted another couple of pages, this time the subject is my new nephew Will Oliver Harrison who was born on 4 July.

Well done on the scrapbook pages.
