This made me cry happy tears.

Our youngest Alison is at Whistler (Canada) all the way from Melbourne. I know that most of you won't get to the end of this as all she does is slowly snowbaord, but what is so wonderful is that this brave kid spent most of her 20's chroniclly ill and much of the time only able to do what she had to do, in between needing to sleep many times a day.

Now look at her. Don would be smiling so broadly to see this. Its so wonderful to see Alison able to do this... Don wrote not too long before he died about Alison, all he wanted for her, was for her to be well again. Thats all. She still has a way to go but the path is clearer and we know what was wrong...she is responding...

I admit I had a good cry when I saw this... she looks like a big kid... and no doubt her mind would have been ticking over 100 mph. She hadn't seen snow till a few years ago...like many Aussies... and has her own delightful style (hahah)

Its these things which make me smile... a triumph. And as said her lovely dad would be beaming to see this... and thats another thing which makes me smile, because I know he knows...
