It was a lovely day with the family.....
a tough day for me without my Gavan to help celebrate my birthday......
We did have a good day.....
Relaxing, eating and laughing....
Watching Colby enjoy the park....

This has to be the hardest post I have ever had to do........
On the 2 November my Gavan passed away peacefully after suffering a stroke.....
It has been a very difficult year for him health wise.....
Diagnosed with Dementia, losing his sight to Macular degeneration as well as all his other problems.....
Gavan wasn't one for pomp and ceremony, he didn't want a funeral at all......
So I decided on a .....
Celebration of his Life day with only family.....
It was wonderful and I'm sure he would have been pleased with it.....
There was a plan.....
These are the things Gavan was known for within the family....
My Invitation.....
Gavan.... Dad.... Pop....
10th November 10.30am, our home.....
Menu....
Pop's pies.... hands on activity....
Pop's favourite...cheesecake (prepared earlier)
Entertainment....Pop's playlist.....
Beverage....Scotch....his favourite....
This is not a funeral, rather a celebration of his life just as he wanted....
so bring your stories and share a laugh, I'm sure a few tears (limited) is ok....
at his favourite place...
Yes, his family home....
16-4-1942 ...... 2-11-2023
In our hearts.....
A surprise party for Liz.....
And she had no idea.....
Family and friends of Liz all enjoyed the day.....
Gavan was in hospital and he didn't want her to miss this day.....
Hard to believe our baby is 50.....
Happy Birthday Liz......
Love you big time.....
