Pictures of Us

I have been a little neglect of The Holmes Gang Blog as of later, unsure as whether to continue to tell our story without our beloved little girl Imogen by our side.

I decided in the end that it did not matter whether anyone was reading it, it was a form of therapy for me to keep her and us alive to all the people who are still loving and supporting us.

With that in mind, I have decided to do a sentence (or two) and add a photo from a few memorable moments that have occurred in our lives since early December.

Imogen’s Rose Planting

A rose like no other.

A bright red ladybird rose fit for our princess, for all to remember the cheeky smiley girl Imogen at Primary School.

Kody’s Graduation

Very proud lifetime moments; our little boy graduating year seven....wow

Kody designed and drew the emblem for all the year seven graduation shirts, high 5 Kody!!

Ashton Playgroup

Mr Social Butterfly, HUGE grins, the perfect safe place to explore.

Christmas Photo

Every year we take a new photo of our delights for the Christmas card, this year the teddy bear (one of Imogen’s favourite things) represents her as still being here with us on this special occasion.

Apologies for embarrassing Ashton in later life; but this shop one is just too classic not to share.

Memorial Service

Heart broken strong families, poems and music joined together by beautiful angels, another step in the healing process.

Kids Cancer Support Christmas Party

Ashton riding one of the ponies Imogen loved.

Friends

Priceless friendships; true gifts to us from our beautiful angels. Love you all and your boy’s xx

The Beach

Imogen loved the beach and it seems (pretty much) first timer Ashton thought it was as wonderful and also thought he was invincible trying to crawl into the waves….argh

Ferrari Drive

Dreams, bucket lists and Boys = A ride in a Ferrari.

AQWA

Smiles and fish, though no seals any more what is that about?

Imogen’s Room

How do you explain in words what it would be like to have to pack away your beautiful girls specials?

I just simply can’t.

Mandurah

Cherished family time; relaxing, eating crabs, reading and chatting.

Ashton's got his groove

Ashton taking his first steps for man kind,

beating Kody by a few days and Imogen by about 3 weeks.

Australia Day

What a cake, Happy Aussie Day Mate!! Well Done little sis.

Kody’s first day of year seven and high school

Amazing; all those years of wondering/ worrying about this day and now its here. Enjoy the day and beginning of a whole new world my Kody, 2nd of February 2011.

Enjoy, Ciao for now xx

Hi Fiona,

I check in here every few days to see what's going on in your world. Ashton is such a big boy now and Kody, Year 7, you must be very proud. I love Immie's Teddy Bear in the photos. She'll be giggling about that.

Looking forward to the next instalment. <3<3<3

Please continue to blog. Many of us are still very interested in what is happening with your family.
Imogen will always be a part of your family and many of us continue to want to follow your path through life.

She may not be physically there, but everything you write is utterly infused with the spirit of Immie...so if you're up to continuing to write, it will be an honour to read.

*hugs*
