A decade in reflection. 2010 started with a January holiday to Egypt - the top destination on my bucket list. The drama from my lungs was supposed to be over, and I had an upward trend in my lung function until winter hit and the words ‘transplant waitlist’ became part of my vocabulary. But not before Grant and I squeezed in one last holiday to Thailand in November. 2010 ended with an oxygen concentrator and a place on the transplant waitlist. 2011 saw my boy leave the nest and move to Sydney, while I headed to hospital. From February to May, I was virtually housebound and hanging on by my fingernails. The end of May brought a second chance for life with the gift of a new set of lungs. Before I came home from hospital, my beautiful Monkey, who had looked after me for 17 years and kept me company on the waitlist, crossed the rainbow bridge. I went from barely walking 20 metres on the day of my transplant to completing the 4km City to Surf 3 months later. (This remains my only athletic accomplishment post-transplant 🤣) In September, Pepsi Parsons pounced into my life. 2012 saw me say goodbye to my Gran, and return to work. A devastating fire burnt down the school I worked at and I spent the remainder of the year rebuilding the library and working on the final stages of the publication of my first book. 2013 stared with a trip to Vietnam and the release of my first book — ‘The Mystery of the Sixty-Five Roses’. I won my first library-related award for the work I performed rebuilding the school library. In October, Grant Jarryn and I ventured to Rome, Scotland, Wales, England with a day trip to Paris. I spent 2014 writing the book that would become Pepsi the Problem Puppy but took time out to get married to Grant and take a trip to Hong Kong. 2015 stared with the set-up of the library in the rebuilt school building, and I won my second library-related award - this time for the design and relocation of the school library. I taught myself how to turn The Mystery of the Sixty-Five Roses into an ebook ready for release the following year. 2016 saw endless rounds of edits for Pepsi the Problem Puppy. ...Continued in comments
