An Eventful Weekend!

Hi All,

What a weekend!! Busy but good!

On Friday night my dear husband arrived home and was down with flu, he felt awful and ofcourse Hannah just wanted to play and couldn't understand why daddy was feeling so terrible.

On Saturday we were up bright & breezy, since my children came along, its the absolute norm to be awake at the crack of dawn. I have made peace with the fact that I can survive on very little sleep and leftovers. We then attended Declan Du Toits memorial service at 11:00am and what a beautiful memorial it was. So full of love, peace, hope, sadness, faith and absolute calmness. I met Declan's parents briefly, and they are absolutely shattered, but are trying very hard to remain strong. I think with the prayer army that followed Declan's story, they will continue to grow stronger each day. They showed a few video clips of Declan, and what a happy little boy he was. You could see the absolute love that Declan had for his parents and the absolute love and adoration Gillian & Daryl have for Declan. Needless to say I cried throughout the service, not just because the loss of Declan is so painful but because his life was short and amazing. The earth was blessed to have such a beautiful little angel on it for a short while. At the end of the memorial, we all released balloons into the sky as a symbol of releasing Declan to the Lord. Those balloons flew high.... Just like Declan is doing right now.

After the memorial, we rushed to my mom's and dropped both my babies off as we had to be in Vereeniging for a wedding. We finally left my moms at 13:45pm and surprise surprise, the N1 south was standing still, so we were stuck in the most horrible traffic, we finally got out of that traffic at 14:30pm and had to rush to get to Vereeniging, needless to say and very embarrassing to say, we missed the entire ceremony, but made it for the reception.

Hannah & Ethan thoroughly enjoyed being with granny and granny & grandpa enjoyed them but were exhausted as they are not used to small little ones anymore.

On Sunday, we arrived home late afternoon, exhausted and Stephan feeling even worse than before. I just hope & pray the kiddies don't catch it and they remain healthy.

Please pray with us for absolutely clear results for Warrior Deqlan Higgins as they await test results. Deqlan is doing so well, please pay his blog a visit to see whatt a beautiful little boy he is: www.deglanhiggings.blogspot.com

Please go to Angel Declan Du Toits blog to see the amazing little boy that fought so hard to try beat cancer, but is now angel in heaven. Please also sign up for the bone marrow drive for the 14 March, to help save more children suffering and battling cancer.. www.all-hands-on-dec.co.za

Please also pray very hard for anyone that is battling cancer, I feel that the more aware people are of this the more prayers will go to heaven and the more people will start thinking about trying to save a life by donating blood, platelets or bone marrow.

Have a blessed week and may God keep you all safe.

Love us!
