Some of us lost a good friend last week to cancer. Debbie died at home with her family. As she would have wanted it. The Murray-Wattons have been good friends of ours for years. We have a fair bit in common. Large home educating families. Kids are friends.

Debbie was pretty central to the family. Holding many things together like a good mum does.

Debbie’s death is our children’s first close experience with grief. Our grief must be nothing to what the Wattons is.

Debbie is missed by so many of us.
