Happy Birthday Jenny and Joanne - Vincentia / Jervis Bay (Mon 24 Mar 2008)
In one of the stars I shall be living ..
In one of the stars I shall be living.
In one of them I shall be smiling.
And so it will be as if all the stars were smiling,
when you look at the sky at night.

The story behind the Star named in Jenny's Memory is here. It is located in the Constellation of Vela in the Southern Sky and she looks over us as we continue our adventures in life.

Jenny and Joanne's Birthday - This Time Last Year
This time last year, we celebrated Jenny and Joanne's Birthday in Cairns.
Jenny had won a trip to Cairns at the 2008 Sutherland Shire Relay for Life and this was the last chance to take it. As usual it was left to the last week the tickets could be used as we had been busy with either paddling committments or Medical and Hospital appointments for Jenny. The trip was for two people and I said to Jenny, early on, that she should take Joanne with her, and that I would come up separately a couple of days later.
On the 11 March 2009, Jenny was diagnosed of multiple tumors in her in Liver and she had already started treatment, which included chemotherapy and another drug called Avastin which worked on the blood system. These treatments were to be every second week. So everything worked out paddling and treatment wise, and we were all able to get to Cairns. I dropped them to the Airport on the Sunday, and I arrived on Tuesday, their Birthday.
We had a great time and Jenny wrote a postcard with a thank you to the lady from RAMS who made the trip possible. The trip will always be special time for Jo and I, and we are particularly grateful to those people who made this special trip possible for us.
Last night, Joanne showed me a small Photo Album of that day in Cairns, their last Birthday together. I have just put them in my Picasaweb Album - here.
