Well I've sorta put this off, as I wasn't sure how to put it into words. But here goes........ Firstly, a massive thankyou to all that have attended Cat's funeral in Tassie, the memorial this evening, and everyone that have sent emails/flowers/cards/messages full of support and best wishes. The support given by everyone has been incredible. Secondly.....well......let's just say I was stunned over the response to the fighting fund. Thankyou to all who contributed. It is already being put to good use. Which brings me to an update. An emergency court hearing was held when we were still in Tassie. I won't go into specifics of the hearing itself, but to make things short, interim residency (residency is the new word replacing "custody") orders were granted in my favour, with access provisions setup for William to see his bio-dad during school holidays. From here we look at going into mediation to try and agree on a permanant set of orders. If we can come to an agreement then it all just gets rubber stamped by the courts. *fingers crossed* As far as day-to-day life goes, William is going to school and enjoying Grade 2, and I have returned to work. I used to work shift work, but my managers were fantastic and asked me what hours I wanted. So I am back to Mon-Fri, 9:30-5:30, which works around William and his schooling very well. Also I finally received the death certificate so I can now start the ball rolling on a few things. Everything had pretty much been in limbo until now. It's arrival means I can start chasing up a few avenues to hopefully help secure my and Williams futures. So once again, a huge, heartfelt thanks to you all. Cheers,
