Rob's remembrance ceremony




Thank you to the people who supported me through Rob's first anniversary day. This past year has been full of difficult challenges for me and many others. I am immensely grateful for the care and support that I have received during the year.

On Friday we planted 5 beautiful kowhai trees in Rob's name beside the Waikato river. These trees will form part of the kowhai project aimed at encouraging tui to return to the city. I look forward to spring picnics under her flowering kowhai in years to come.

I am now in the final days of my preparations to leave for Vietnam. Thanks to the people who have sent such encouraging messages and to everyone who has worked so hard to get me, my house and my luggage ready.

5 more sleeps!
