The courage and determination of team Sabin is truly inspiring. May this week’s surgery go well and see you all another step closer to coming home.

Keep up the fantastic work,

Hi Darryl.
Its been a busy week,more bulls went off to the works, then we were drenching the bulls left and set stocking them again.
Latimer and Sandy have been repairing the docking gates and the gates were put up in the first paddock,so we are ready to go when the weather clears up.
Micky,Elroy, and Dianne came up on Thursday to shear the Rams.The heifers at Browns lease were given a Pour-On drench.The bulls will be going out with them in the next week.
Hope we can get a decent week of docking this week coming with some good weather.
Keep taking those long strides.
Regards Kathleen,Max,Deane,Lewis,Latimer,and Sandy.

Good Afternoon Dazzla.

I think about you all the time, and hope that you are going well.

What really impresses me and makes me think of what an awesome guy you really are, is how you are continuing trying with everything and how you have not given up. I think many of us would not have been as amazing as you and would given up by now, and just been satisfied with what we had. Prehaps not satisfied, but settled with it because we didnt have the OOmph to carry on.

But no, not you!!! You keep going, and you keep trying, and because of that you are continuing to make good progress. Each day a step closer to a bigger, better Dazzla.

Well I finally got my act together! I took the last two weeks off work to try and see if I could get back into teaching. (Just casual for now.) So far it’s been really good. Ive pretty much had work every day.

I joined up with an agency, but on the days I didn’t have work I spent the WHOLE day going around to schools dropping off my CV. In 3 days i went to about 28 or 30 schools. And the good thing is, Im glad I did because alot of the jobs Ive been getting are from me dropping off my CV not fromt he agency. Plus they are alot closer to home.

I don’t know if you managed to see it on the news but on Wednesday we had a massive Sand Storm. I looked outside when woke up and the whole sky was completely orange! It was a pretty ery feeling.I thought there was a massive fire. I took some awesome pic, Ill see if the can load on here, otherwise Ill show you another time. Apparently tons and tons of sand blew in from the outback. Once in cleared up in the afternoon, there was dust/ sand EVERYWHERE!!!

It was pretty funny actually, everyone’s cars where covered in a film of orange. And you should have seen how busy the car washes have been. When I went to the petrol station yesterday there were 11 cars queing up for the car wash! And as one left another one came. I bet they were making heaps of money.

Anyway Dazzla, thats about all the news from this side.
Missing you heaps, and hopefully talk soon.

XxXx Lulu*.

You are proof that hard work, a great coach and a huge dose of determination can go take you further than you ever expect to go. Brilliant news and the best medicine/motivating force that you can recieve is news like that about your eyes. I look forward to shaking that right hand next time we meet!

What great news, you guys must be so pleased to have progress confirmed by the eye specialist. You are beginning to reap the well deserved rewards for all the effort you’ve been putting in -Awesome!
Keep looking forward Mike, there will be plenty of time later when you are ready, to look back on where this journey started.
Good luck with the cranioplasty I think you said was scheduled for this week! Here’s hoping it all goes well and is another step towards getting home to Northland.
Have a great week.

Hi Darryl, Havent forgotten you, still pop in every Monday morning to see how you are doing, you and my latte kick start my week. So impressed with your progress and top marks to your “personal trainer.” Its so the thing to do these days, to have a personal trainer or a life coach, just dont let him know the others charge fees!!!
Keep it up you are an amazing pair.
Love
Pip
