Happy New Year

Happy New Year Australia! In less than an hour it will be 2007 in Australia and my parents will be looking ahead to what a new year will hold.

The fact that I can say parents is pretty amazing. It's been nearly 18 months since Mum was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It's amazing that she's not only alive today but doing incredibly well. My dad is recovering well after his latest ordeal which involved nearly 3 months in hospital. With his latest surgery we're hoping the colon cancer is not going to be a prominent issue in his life any more. What nearly killed him was diabetes. When they took him back into the hospital he should have been in a diabetic coma his sugar levels were so high. I am very thankful that he survived.

In early December they sold the business they had owned and run for 22 years so 2007 will be the year they get to work out what retirement is all about. They have worked hard all their lives so they deserve to have a peaceful and happy retirement. That is my wish for them.













So Happy New Year Mum and Dad - may 2007 be a year of happiness, health and joy.
