25.01.2022 To all the Harvey followers in Perth, I'd love you to honour Harvey's memory and come support Kids Cancer Support Group and buy your tickets to see Finding Dory. You know you want to. Be a kid for a day, even if yours are too old to go.
25.01.2022 Harvey and Sindi met when both going through their radiation treatment. They were coy at first but by the end Sindi had to wait for Harvey to be wheeled out to make sure he was ok. They developed a beautiful little friendship with a shared liking for lollipops. Sindis passing was as sad as it can be when any child dies from cancer. ... Little was I to know that 3 days after going to Sindis funeral I would be wheeling Harvey out of PMH to a funeral home car. Long live King Harvey and Queen Sindi.
20.01.2022 Every day for the whole of September I'm going to share something about childhood cancer on Harvey's page. This is the first one.
19.01.2022 I need to express this as it is something that weighs heavily on me and I still feel this is the safe place I can express my internal thoughts. This year, my darling beautiful daughter finishes primary school. Next year both Oliver and Genevieve will be in high school. Yay - one school drop off. ... Yay - only 6 years of schooling in my life. So many yay's (2 of them) and so many boos. The yay's only exist because Harvey doesn't. Otherwise I'd still have 3 years of the double drop-off. 3 years of attending his primary school assembly item. 3 years of attending assembly for his merit certificate. 3 years of Christmas carols at schools. Communion. Confirmation. Year 6 graduation. And then high school as well. Obviously, I'd rather all those things in my life than the alternative. Perhaps, in some parallel universe this is happening.
17.01.2022 "Every child lost is an irreplaceable piece of the future."
17.01.2022 In scheduling these posts something felt a little strange...............a little odd, then I realised that the calendar has rolled around so that this is the first anniversary that falls on the actual day of events. Black Friday rolling into the early hours of Saturday morning...... .........a cold morning, sitting outside the hospital with a pram full of nothing then the superfluous detritus that you somehow accumulate when an inpatient (you generally leave with more then ...you came in with). All of that, but not your child..................... ........6 years :(
13.01.2022 The mums I've met on the Oncology ward are the only other mums who truly get how horrible this journey is.
13.01.2022 My beautiful big boy has created this beautiful montage to celebrate the life of his beautiful little brother. We can't believe it's been 3 years Harvey boy. T...ime is a horrible beast. It's heartbreaking that in 10 months your time with our family will start being longer without you. We miss you Harvey, more and more each day. PS - this is a silent montage due to FB restrictions. Enjoy it anyway.
12.01.2022 6 years....... :(
12.01.2022 Gosh, it's been a while since I've posted anything here. I don't know where to start really. We celebrated Harvey's 5th anniversary in June and I tried to fly under the radar this year. There is no comparison when it comes to acknowledging the death of your child or the birth. The memories for both are as strong as each other. The feelings/emotions and joy/grief are all as strong as each other.... When you welcome a child into the world you know with absolute certainty that your life is changing forever. You are going from a family of our to a family of five. You now have THREE children - are you CRAZY!!! This is what hurts the most. Three was our number. A family of five. We were complete and it felt more right then anything. I will admit that I hurt the most when I see a family of five frolicking at the beach or the park or a mother pregnant with their third child as they chase around the other two. This birthday resonates with me much stronger than others. One year of single digits. Once Genevieve finishes year 6 this year, our primary school years are over (otherwise we'd have 3 more). So many other things - besides the big obvious one being not having Harvey here. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We love and miss you soooooooooooooooo much. The day of your birth is such a fresh memory for me it feels like yesterday. I love you and miss you like you cannot imagine.
