There are good moments

ByCPR

Whilst Ian is tackling a traumatic experience, he does have good moments and there have also been some very special times.

His brother-in-law and wife visited in March and his daughter and grandson, Jennie and Joshua visitied in April. Ian’s Niece and nephew popped in and then Leanne came to visit followed by Mark & Lana.

WIth each timely visit, something to help Ian was installed and each of his children could help with the new transition.

Ian is still able to smile by the Grace of our Heavenly Father!
