How much I miss you, missed your words. My silly blog doesn't update when someone posts and I have been checking, every few days for awhile knowing, just knowing you would be back. So I clicked on you and there you were. Beautiful and inspiring as always. And I begin to read...and I am sitting here in tears at your courage and your amazing husband and I am so stinking proud of you [even though I already knew you did this, I am proud of you all over again]. Helena you are one of my favorite bloggers. I am so.glad.you.are.back. Love and hugs to you and your beautiful family.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487026746937164012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760384943386215722.post-24343642948268949212012-10-29T22:27:54.684+11:002012-10-29T22:27:54.684+11:00My brave friend!

This summer I climbed a mountain for the first time. When I was near the top, I looked behind me and had a mini panic attack; I started crying and shaking. But I knew I didn't want Steve and the kids to reach the top without me. And I'm really glad I did it. <br /><br />I'll be interested in hearing more about your Australia trip. That is one place that is high on our wish list of places to visit.
