Day 2 My famiy in general

Number 1 son - Getting married this year in May to Tory,  I cant wait.  Keven has been in America since forever and I really miss him.  He drives a truck and trailer unit interstate and we get to see America by his many photos of his trips.  He is 40 in May so not a little boy but he is still my little boy.  Miss him so much.  Keven has two children Brendon who is 20 and Nadine who is 15.

Number 2 child - Melissa (or Nelly as we call her now) lives in Waiau which is about 1 1/2 hours north of christchurch.  She works as a nurse in the Cheviot Rest home and loves her job.  She is married to Charlie since Adam wore knickers.  They are both awesome.  They have a daughter Rochelle who is grown and left home.  They are the dependable couple that if you need someone they are there.  they own their own home and are doing really well.

Number 3 child - Cassandra (or Cass as we call her when we are being nice) who is married forever to Chris.  They have 3 children and the 4th due in June.  Their names are Shane 12, Neihana 9, Faith 6 and Baby Gaga or something that is on its way soon.    They live in Invercargill, which is as far as Keven from us nearly although we can talk on the phone. They too own their own house and Chris works as a Social Worker and Cass is also studying Psychology.

Number 4 child - Karla is newly engaged to Iain Pow and they are getting married next year.  Her first relationship broke up after 10 years but she has three beautiful children Joshua 9, Jordan 6, Amanda Margaret 3 to make up for the sadness.  She is now very happy and lives in Christchurch.  She also works as a nurse in a rest home in christchurch and is doing very well at her job.

The other 4 children that never made it are for#ever in my heart and not forgotten but not dwelt on either to avoid going insane.

Their mother, me, Margaret, is in the final stage of emphysema, has graves disease, thyrotoxicosis, pancreatititis and generally tired, also suffering depression.  I am blessed by such a wonderful family and share them with my third husband Peter.  He is caring, loving but very loud and annoying too.  I love him to bits.

This last statement also brings in more children - angela is married to Nigel and just celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.  They live in Christchurch and we have a very close relationship.  They have two wonderful daughters Stephanie who is 16 and Jennifer 15.  They are both at Papanui High. 

Next is Andrew who is getting married to Sharon this November.  He has children from two previous marriages Jessica who has two children of her own now, Johnny who is 18, Tahu 9 and Jack 6. 

I also have two children from a previous marriage to Stan Wilson and they are Paul and Katrina.  Paul now has a son and Katrina has a 12 year old son called Calib.


I hope whoever reads this is as blessed as I am to have such a wonderful family.
