Life Update

7 months since my last post. My mind has been busy and life has been a roller-coaster (literally). 

It would probably take too long to explain everything I have been through over this time and the thoughts that came to my mind regarding life, our purpose here, my future and so on.. But to make it short Russell's health went downhill and no more treatments were effective or available to cure his cancer. His quality of life started to decline again, his body was slowly shutting down. Yet we managed to spend some nice last moments together and got married. But the tumour's evolution caught us back and he passed away on Friday 16th of May early morning.

My story would sound dramatic to many. Yes, it is a sad one and it feels like living in a movie but I am not the only one to go through it. It is an excruciating pain I will live with for the rest of my life, but it taught me so much. We have done everything we could to enjoy our time together, always leaving plenty of room for hope and projects. But sometimes what you want is not what you get and you have to face it and accept it. His life changed the day he was told he had cancer. Mine changed the day I met him. Clearly, the meaning behind both moments and the outcomes are different but I believe the impact is (somehow) similar. 

I am hanging on there, grabbing every opportunity to be around people and doing anything to smile and make other smile. Because this is what life is about. I owe this to myself - to the ones I love, just like you do. Giving back to people is meaningful, and generally it doesn't take much to do so.

With the amazing support from my family and friends both in France & Australia and all over the world, I have managed to be ok so Thank you to you all, it is highly appreciated.

Now I am off to new projects and will try to slowly get back on track with my life and keep you posted as I used to!

Much love.
