As I write this it is a lovely Monday morning ๐ here in Melbourne.ย The sun has not long risen,ย the air is fresh, still and crisp.ย I’ve already taken Lily for a walk as the sun came up and I find myself in a happy, contented and reflective mood..
At the weekend my youngest niece Lana got married. The baby of the family has become a beautiful young woman, she looked angelic and it’s hard to believe how quickly the time has passed, and she is a grown woman. It seems like just yesterday that she was a tiny premmie baby in a humidicrib.ย She’s always been specialย a wise contented quirky happy soul. Peter and Kathy did a wonderful job raising all three of their children.
The wedding reception was absolutely fantastic. My good friend Adrian partnered me for the occasion and I was sitting next to my brother Peter, as father of the bride and opposite my brother David. I feel privileged. I got to be cloae to two of my favourite people in all the world ๐. Adrian knows my family very well, having been my friend for about 30 years now, and I consider ๐๐ฝ him part of my extended family.. The reception was held at an Italian restaurant on the site of what used to be The Mercy hospital, where Lana was born. It seems fitting she celebrated her wedding on the same site she came into the world ๐. I had such a lovely time and I feel that the natural high I am expecting will last for awhile yet. I am truly blessed with a wonderful family.
