The whole of last year I have written something about each of my children on their Birthday I knew our Bec was the last...and on the 20th March her Birthday came and went and it wasn't till this morning when she reminded me that I hadn't written a write up about her....can't tell you how that saddens me..that I forgot this precious daughter. ( ROTTEN MOBILE) Let me tell you about the Photo's first..... the one above is one of my favourites, it captures her absolute beauty both inside and out.......she can light up a room and does...she has an inner quality of calmness and strength....that is not often found.......in a person......The below two pictures are when I visited my family in Holland and I asked Rebecca to come with me....we did this about 5 years ago....of course you can recognise where she is standing next to the mighty Eiffel Tower...lucky we came early enough before the huge crowd and also the Soldiers with their machine guns....Then below was in Holland ..
The story about Rebecca actually started before her birth....approximately 3 years before......I was living in Kalgoorlie...and not doing so well..I needed to sort my life out where it would be acceptable before my maker and ultimatley to me let alone for the children I already had....I was outside one day, it was early evening..I had been pondering about my life etc for days...as I was walking back into the house and I can still remember the exact spot..I felt that Rebecca came to me to encourage me to straighten some things out..I knew the spiritual thing I was having ..... was to do with my future...but it wasn't till years later when I had Rebecca that it was her that came to me and that the future entailed her.......Tony and I met and it is a long story with many twists...but eventually we got married...3rd of May 1978....we had decided to try for children straight away...and we were hoping that all would be well as I had had some scary cells that had changed and that there may be a chance that I could not fall pregnant....... oh I was so disappointed when the first month came and gone...but the second month we found out that we were on our way in having a baby...we were over the moon......I had the normal sickness but really everything went well...I was so sure that I was having a boy..but two weeks before the birth Tony had a dream and he told me forget about the boy ...he actaully had seen the baby being born in a dream and that she was a girl.....we were thrilled to bits..but secretly I had wondered if the dream was real.........silly me I should have believed him....7 days before her birth...I went into Hospital as my hands, feet and wherever had swollen up so much that I could not even bend my fingers....I drove the car with an open hand..pretty uncomfortable and thinking back now rather dangerous..........after 7 days of total bed rest I had lost many many kilos of fluid ..... I was weighed each day...... wish that happened now hey!!!!!!! On the Monday I think it was they sent me home and by the early evening when Tony was at Judo....I started into some pretty hard labour...by the time he got home ...no mobiles then !! I was ready to go to Hospital...but before I went there I asked him to take me to the Graders for a blessing...which he did..when I got to Hospital and they examined me I was 6 centimetres dilated and at 11.50 something p.m. Our beautiful daughter was born exactly how Tony had seen it in a dream. The birth went really well..but hey who can really glorify the birth except the part where you get to hold your child ...I was cleaned up and she was .... then she was brought around to me in my room...I inspected that she had ten little toes and ten little fingers all perfect.....Then for a small moment the veil was lifted from my mind and from her mind to mine she said..."Thank you for my Body" it was then that I realized that it was she who came to me so many years ago...I became very aware that it is not easy for a Spirit to control the body..the arm did not go where she wanted it to go etc...... the veil closed and I held my baby close and tight and offered up a very big thank you to our Heavenly Father.

Rebecca is like the Sun shining she is and always has been a cheerful, delightful, child, adult...oh my gosh How could I ever Thank Heavenly Father enough for giving us her...She gives me strength and courage .... she has been blessed with natural wisdom.....
.We see her as a Mum and a Wife and her sweetness and seeing things as they are is something to behold, nothing is too much for her when serving her family......She has her challenges and handles them with so much optimism....and calmness......better then I do my own..........She is also intelligent..kind and can be totally random in her comments at times....we could be talking about a subject...can even be of a serious nature then all of a sudden Bec comes out with a comment thats off the subject totally and random..... because we all know her ...it makes us all laugh....she is also not afraid to ask the tough questions......
When she was little she used to walk in little plastic drinking cups ...if you can imagine little toes and feet inside them and off she would go...very cute..she also had a blanky except it was a candlewick double bed green quilt...can you picture her dragging this big thing along...
One day I was wise enough to cut it up into smaller squares....
When we came to Perth once we called into a toy shop in Midland before we went back to Kal, it was about when we had driven into Mundaring she realized that blanky was gone....oh my gosh....after many tears we headed back to Midland in the hope we would find her blanket and lo and behold there it was still in the aisle...I'm sure if anyone would have gotten to it before we did it would have been thrown away......
.Three more children were to come after her...and of course with each one she was home when I went to Hospital....... after Naomi she said Mum please don't go away anymore.. poor darling.....she as well as I had had enough babies.......What do you say about a girl, woman now who has brought nothing more then joy into your life. Thank You seems inadequate ...I'm ever grateful that she is part of who we are and will always have our hearts full of gratitude for her life

Well I couldn't agree more with your comments on Rebecca. You have done a remarkable job with all your beautiful daughter. They are all wise, intelligent and lovely beings. To know them is to love them.....all five of em!
