I don’t usually write things that are private into a blog but since you put your heart on your sleeve for everyone to see I will let you know everyone else sees “your brother” Mick. As for the photos – I know he only took a few photos and left the suitcase of photos in your Mum’s house.

I met Mick in 2002 when he started dating my daughter Fiona! I met Lyn and the boys Christmas the same year. Lyn and I became very good friends then, and over the years as we had so much in common. We also had some exceptional happy times together at New Year Eve watching the fire works on the beach at midnight and walking home at 4.00am with all the rest of the teenagers. As Mothers we talked about our children! … all the crazy thinks kids do when are young. We talked about our children and the hard times they that had all been through growing up… and as Mothers we talked about that they are growing up into fine adults! I miss her too Kim!

Mick was a little hard to get to know as he was reserved and tended to clam up. My Father who was a retired officer of the South African army was the fist one to realize what a fine man Mick is. My father said that he had known many men in the war and later trained soldiers in the army and he really respected Mick. At Fiona and Mick’s wedding he made a wonderful speech to them and presented Mick with his own official sword. It was then used to cut the wedding cake!

We have seen Mick being a amazing father to his boys Hayden and Nathan and beautiful daughter Kaitlyn. We have heard him talk about how much he cares for his Nan and Lyn’s brothers and families.

Mick has taken our family to his heart as we have with him. When my father died he was a pillar of strength to me and my mother. My mother loves him as a grandson and cried with him when Lyn died….Cried with him again when he came back after the funeral. Hi is like a son to me too and was so supportive to Fiona when she was going tough times too.

So Kim….. Where is this heartless person that you are talking about for the entire world to see? We don’t understand why you don’t see him the way we all do. … The caring, loving, tough, soft, understanding and most of all a family man!!!! I am so sorry for you as you are missing out on a remarkable man, never mind a brother in the true sense. Jenny

Keeping my fingers crossed it’s just a cyst. I think you all have more than enough to deal with right now!

Keeping my fingers crossed it's just something harmless. She has enough on her plate as it is. As for your brother, I wish I could give him MY look too. But I think it's plain stupidity. He can only use what little brains he's got. Don't know if I said that right but I'm sure you'll catch my drift. Jientjes last blog post..Sepia Scenes. Whining and Dining

Oooh, how I hate that look. I get it sometimes when I say I can’t do something I normally would do, because my back or neck is aching too badly. Because I’m at work and still moving almost normally, people think I’m faking.
