Replying to @the_moussasA moment I'll never forget. She had been unconscious for days and in this moment looked at me and said "dancing". You can see her fighting to keep her eyes open in this moment. I played her music and sung to her everyday even when she was unconscious. This moment is one I'll treasure forever, our final dance. 😭❤️

Truly heartbreaking news, I feel so sick and angry thinking about how this could happen. To anyone in the community of medically complex parents/carers, I'm sure your hearts feel just as heavy as mine. My heart aches for those babies, their father and anyone connected to the family.

As the 4 year anniversary of Bobbi's death nears, I'm feeling so emotional. I still feel just as devastated, just as much pain and just as angry as I was the day you died. But, I don't feel as lost. When you left this world my purpose and my reason left too. You were the centre of my world for so long and then you were gone. Slowly, day by day, I found purpose and joy again. I believe you guided the way for me to find these both before and after you died. The hurt is just as big as the day you died, but I've built a life of happiness around the pain. So that every time I feel the pain of your absence, I am comforted by the warmth of the life you taught me to live. No matter how far apart our timelines become, you will always be a part of this family. We will speak your name and tell your story forever. We will love you for our whole lives and dedicate our lives to living twice as big for you. In the last 4 years I have felt more pain than some experience in a whole lifetime, but I've also experienced more joy than I ever imagined possible. I love you forever Bobbi girl 🩷

Teaching my daughters about Bobbi is both healing and heartbreaking 💔 #grief #childhoodcancer #cancer #grievingmother
