Guiding hands of Angela and Murray

 Thus I will find it extremely hard to explain but she will try her hardest not to cry along the way. What do Angela and Murray mean to me? Well, to most people, this might only take you 5 minutes, but to this point, it has taken me at least 5 years to be able to realise what they truly do mean to me, and I think the story that I am currently writing to do with these beautiful people, is allowing me to find out what that truly is. Over the years, Angela, Murray and I have spent a considerable amount of time with one another; nevertheless, I will say this; hopefully, at my best, I struggle to find words that truly describe the immensity of these two beautiful people mean to me. Have you ever heard the saying; "the world is your oyster"? Well, I have, but little did I know at the time that oyster was in the form of two very special people. Angela and Murray never gave me the world, but what they did do during this time was they allowed me to experience it on my own feet, or wheels should I say, but it was in a very guiding way that not many people can mimic the full extent of in my life. The only other true people who have done this in a similar way to what Angela and Murray have, are my parents; although at the moment we aren't on exactly happy terms, they do and have done a lot for me, over the previous years. So I guess now is a time to say thank you to them as well, but for now, I will go back to the reason why I'm here. There are a lot of decisions to make in life, but none more precious than the one before; little did I know 11 years ago that I would sit here now thanking 2 sets of people for the different ways they've given me the world. Angela was always there when I thought no one else would be in the way of a carer. Her hands are like the tools you would find in Murray's glove box for a physically disabled person because, for some reason, they are able to miraculously facilitate more than a disabled person could ever dream to imagine in one day or in however long I'm lucky enough to spend with both sets of people. And with that, unfortunately, for now, I will have to leave you but the blogs of Angela and Murray are certainly not over.

Thank you,

-Stephanie. :)

Guiding light of Angela's voice

 Angela and I had a verbal fight, but now our future is back to being bright. You may ask what we fought over; the answer is our friendship. I've recently worked on the sequel to the Angela and Murray story, 'What Happened to Katheryn. This story currently has 510 words, without little birds. Recently as of the 24th of January 2023, I had the privilege of being accompanied by Angela and Anika to my psychology. You might wonder what is wrong with me? I have some things going on now, although I prefer not to always show it. When I got the privilege of having Angela accompany me to Psychology, my heart was filled with glee! There are a few reasons this could be; one is that she was previously able to keep my mental health afloat, just like I was in a boat. Why does this fill me with glee? Well, you see, she promised me that she would be there when I was a scare. Angela's voice is like most, although it can sound slightly moist; 6 years ago today, I was finishing a holiday with

I finally got to Sydney! (Details of my trip)

Hello everybody! I am so happy to be FINALLY writing this post. I have been waiting four long years to make this trip to Sydney, and I finally did it! On Friday the 6th of September 2019, myself and two of my carers (Karen and Julia), started our journey to Newcastle (Stop one of my holiday) at 6am in the morning. We stopped a brief rest in Coffs Harbour, approximately four hours from home, and then continued on our way to Newcastle. We arrived in Newcastle somewhere between 2:30pm and 3:00pm (i'm not entirely sure what the actual time was). We checked in at the Ibis Newcastle, and made our way to our room. Once opening the door we realised that there was only one room for all three of us to sleep in. We then checked out the disabled amenities, which was hilariously bigger than the room we would be sleeping in. Which isn't a bad thing, just something funny to note. We found our way to a little Italian restaurant where we had dinner. I had some delicious Spaghetti Bolognes

Preparation for my 2019 Sydney trip

The idea of travelling to Sydney on holiday first came up as an idea, back in 2015 while I was on holiday in Toowoomba with Angela and Tegan. We began looking at the costs that would be associated with two different options. Option one was to fly to Sydney and then hire a disabled accessible car. Option two was to drive to Sydney. (Which, in the end was the better option). However, many things had changed in the time between inital discussion and actually getting everything organised.  I then had to make the decision of who would accompany me to Sydney. (The staff that were originally going to be coming with me, unfortunately no longer work with me). Originally I believed it would be Julia and Angela, but Angela was not able to accompany me, due to having been travelling around the world for a few months! So the two people I had with me on my trip were Julia and Karen (as stated in my main Sydney blog post). Tegan sat down and mapped out all of our travel on google maps and we s
