Today, at 10.30am, I am going to a funeral...

the funeral of a gorgeous 6 year old girl who was in Grade 1 at Bronte's school.

She died on Tuesday the 19th of February and had been battling cancer.

I didn't know her really or her mum and dad or little sister. I did, however, used to say hello when I saw her and marvel at this gorgeous girl who, everytime I saw her, had a smile on her face.

Her presence has affected our whole school community. Made it stronger. She will be so sorely missed.

The school has closed down for today so that teachers and families can attend. I am not taking any of my children but I will go, I feel that I need to. Don't want to though.

Please, have Aislinn and her family in your thoughts - it is a very hard road for them all.
