Well, Chance and I decided to not go to Nicki's funeral today after all. We spent a lot of time deliberating about it last night and decided that, as it was a minimum three hour drive round the M1 and M25 to Canterbury that it would be unfair to take Kezia all that way. We know she would've been crabby by the time we got out the other end and we didnt want to be the family who ruined the peace of the funeral with a screaming baby. We have had at our own moment of remembrance of Nicki in our back garden, sat under the lovely blue sunny sky telling Kezia our memories of our friend. It's so very sad, and we really did want to go to the funeral but we have to think of her family and about what they need, not what we need for closure. After all, they will never have this opportunity to say goodbye officially to her again and we owe Nicki enough respect for her funeral to be carried through with dignity. Hopefully, where ever she is, she understands why we took the decision to be at home today. So here's to you gorgeous girl - we raise a glass in your memory and promise to always keep a place in our hearts for you. Rest in peace sweetheart.
In many ways it was just as well that we decided to not go to Nicki's funeral today as at approx 6am this morning Kezia decided she would test her mamma's reactions by projectile vomiting across the double bed! She'd only had a bottle about an hour before hand, so there was loads of the stinky stuff and boy, did it go miles! We couldn't fully work out what had happened, but we think she probably stuffed those really long fingers a bit too far down her throat. I don't think she's realised yet that she doesnt need to ram her arm in up to her elbow ... perhaps after last night she will now! Kids eh?!
Other than that everything in the Hooper household is good as we come towards the end of the week. Chance is working from home today and struggling with some reporting, so the air is intermittently blue around him! chuckle.
I think I'll persuade him to do something nice with us tomorrow - I can feel a day out somewhere is in order to blow away the ole cobwebs ...
