Sad Week

This week was a bit of a dud. On Tuesday I got a phonecall in Extension History telling me that a family friend had passed away. He was the person who brought my father over to Australia from England. So it has been a bit sad to know that I will never see him again. His death was a shock to us, it was a heart attack.

But it has been really cool to hear from those people who have wanted to support me and my family. Sam Condon has been awsome in particular.

So I guess with the death of a close friend, the whole week revolves around throught about them, and painful reminiscing. I guess though that my week hasn't been that bad, and I think God has helped me to be strong.

I most imporantly need to focus of loving my family. God works to save people regularly through times like these.
