Last week was an amazingly turbulent and emotional week for me. I had the wonderful news of the birth of my first nephew and this morning I received the sad news of my grandmothers passing.
Although very sad. It is not tragic. Never more than this week I have been reminded of the circle of life. We're born, we live, we die. On one hand my nephew has just embarked on the journey of life, and right now he has no idea of the amazing voyage he is about to embark. On the other hand the final chapter has closed in the story of my grandmother.
And what an amazing story it was. She was such a lovely person and she would have touched so many people in a positive way. As a child she was always there too cuddle me when I was sad, laugh with me when I was happy, nurse me when I was sick and discipline me when I was naughty. Her love was unconditional, her sincerity genuine and her example flawless.
And although she is now gone, her legacy of five children, seven grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren still live on, and she will live on in our hearts and memories for many years to come.
You leave the world a better place for having been here. Rest in peace granny. I love you.

A new day
Yes today is a new day. And after a swim and a hearty breakfast I feel ready to take on the world! Yesterday was a bad day, but today I am revitalised and rejuvenated. So kids, buckle up and fasten your seat belts because next the next bout in our entertaining series is:
ANDREW PRICE Vs. MEDICINE (round 4658)
And it got off to a flyer with a referral to the new neurologist in hand by 9.00am. Faxed new referral to new neurologist and called for an appointment. CRASH! All referrals need to be reviewed by the doctor before appointments can be made. Well never mind, the poor receptionist is going to hear from me every day until I have an appointment.
On the brighter side, yes, I didn't get very good news about my health, but I got great news from the other side of the world. I became an uncle! My brother had his first child yesterday and I am really happy for them all. Mum and bub both doing well. Welcome to the world little Johnny, I'm really looking forward to meeting you.
