Back in 2003 after being a mum to Philip. My Husband Matt and I decided to have another child. To our delight, I fell pregnant and the 9 months of sickness begun. A pregnancy of no complications, a healthy baby, and a home being filled with Pink. We found out that we were to have a baby Girl and named her Alice Mary Bourne.

My eyes will weep quickly as he shows his love in the unlikely of places and people       I must use what's God has placed in my hands and serve him with all my spirit, soul and body...
