R&R

We are on holiday at Nature’s Valley, with my sister Coral and Toby and their kids; my folks will be joining us for the weekend.

It’s been a wonderful blessing to get away from it all for a bit, to rest, chat, think, pray and process. We’ve had our sad moments. Nature’s is our most favourite place in the known universe, and there’s a terrible ache in my heart to know that Cam can’t see it. Fortunately the beauty here is so tangible that he can experience it in other ways – the salty air on his face and sand between his toes; the breeze whipping up the scent of forest and fynbos; the music of birds and baboons and waves and wind.

We’re doing OT and physio exercises with Cam everyday and he’s been fantastic. It’s really exciting to see his progress. Of course Lola loves the beach, but wanted nothing at all to do with a stranded jellyfish we came across, whimpering and hiding behind Murray’s legs!

Here are some pics…
