Nicole's Nan's health has been deteriorating for the last couple of weeks. Nicole has really been feeling the distance and has wanted to be with her Mum, Nan and Granddad to help them through this difficult time, but it has been difficult because although she suspected the end was near, Nan kept just hanging on, making a decision on going back very difficult.
The signs of the end were apparent over the last couple of days and Nicole booked flights home yesterday for herself and Chris, with the invaluable help of Miss Julie Seldon, Thong Advocate General, to whom she is eternally grateful.
Chris is arriving in Brisbane later this afternoon and will fly out with Nicole later tonight.
This morning we received the news that Nicole's Nan has passed away, which is sad news. I never know what to say in circumstances such as these so I'll just leave Stuart, Anne and Nicole with my best wishes, and hope that the next few days are not too difficult for Anne and that Nicole is as helpful back home as she would like to be.
The flights were very difficult to get hold of; the only return flights available are on December 16th. Until then, the rest of the girls and I are on our own - Parp!! We will miss Nicole terribly. And probably eat bakes beans and pasta and pesto on alternating days.
