Time spent with the people you love, enjoying all your little traditions, that truly is a gift.

Some gifts you hold, others hold you. The most priceless gift I’ve ever received isn’t what you think. It wasn’t wrapped in a bow. It was love, legacy, and a reminder of what truly matters. Some gifts change your life forever. #BestGiftEver #FamilyIsEverything #LegacyOfLove #MeaningfulGifts

It's Photography Friday, friends.

*Content Warning: talk of deceased*

Today I want to talk about this kookaburra, or rather, what this kookaburra used to mean to my ma.

My ma always believed she was being visited by those who had passed. Sometimes she saw them in spectral form. More often her friends and family came in the form of a kookaburra.

Living in the city I don't get visited by kookaburras ever, so when I saw this beauty, I was quite emotional. However, I was with my Out Doors Inc group (highly recommended if you're on the NDIS & live for Country) so had to hold it together in front of strangers.

My heart ache comes on abruptly, punches my gut randomly. In these moments though, I just want to share the beauty with my ma who was so proud of me for getting out of my comfort zones. This time, I believe she was with me.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, 21st July, around 610am, my ma, Dorothy Callaghan, passed after being admitted to hospital for a simple fall on Monday 15th Juy. On Thursday 18th we were told she was end of life.

Ma was my rock. A strong woman who defeated an abusive relationship, breast cancer, and severe infection. She was my inspiration like her ma before her. I have been blessed with strong women in my life who saved me, guided me, pushed me to be better.

Being autistic I always thought the term "heart sore" was a flowery endearment, but now I know it's a precise description. My sister, aunt, and I laugh a bunch in our Irish way, but I don't think I have ever cried so much in such a small space of time. It is a lot to process and to be honest, I am overwhelmed.

For those asking, we are not accepting flowers. We don't want anything else dying on us right now and we have to leave to our own cities. If you feel the need to gift us, donating to the National Breast Cancer Foundation in her name would be a blessing.

I am a broken man, so your heartfelt endearments are extremely welcome and I thank everyone so far who has reached out already. I am blessed for knowing you.
