This morning we heard the sad news of the passing of Tracey Thomson. Tracey and her two little boys were pretty much a fixture at Thursday morning playgroup in Hazelbrook and she also served on the same pre-school parent committee as me. I count myself fortunate that I was able to get to know her even a little, to chat about the sorts of things parents chat about, to share a laugh now and then.
It was a struggle for her, both boys having mild developmental delays that doubled her worry and her workload. But I never heard a complaint from her. She had had serious health problems for many years - open heart surgery, missing a kidney, then finally a brain tumor. Still, no complaints, ever. Only fears for her boys if things turned out for the worst.
Life is rarely fair though even in the most difficult cases, one can sometimes discern a scintilla of hope. Tracey was that hope and rarely was it about herself. It was for others that her energy and kindness were directed.
Rest in peace in the arms of God, Tracey.
