“Hi Robert,

What a wonderful idea. I wish you every success for the day. I would love to have been able to come to the event but as I’m sure you can appreciate I’m a bit far away. We were so lucky last week and are thankful for the Brisbane River dam systems because that may have presented us with a whole different outcome. We have a few family friends who lost homes and possessions and may have to rebuild or even buy somewhere else.The way people have come together over this event is the most wonderful thing and has reminded us all of what’s truly important. Life and time certainly goes by fast when you have children but the enrichment and unconditional love you get from them, makes everything worth while. Even when you do spend your one day off work cleaning out their bedrooms because they can’t actually get into their beds. That was how my day was spent yesterday. I would love to see an updated photo of your beautiful girl. I’m sorry I can’t remember her name but I do know she is now a year old. My last addition, Martha is now 7 months old. Thank you for thinking of me. I hope to hear from you soon.

Take care of yourself and your family. Love Sarah”
