THE last GOODBYE

after nearly two very very long years american idol season 7 winner david cook finally released his first single from his sophmore album "this loud morning".

the song is called "the last goodbye" and it literally sent the wordnerd community into overdrive. not only was david out of hiberation but it meant something so much more than just a song ... the album is just around the corner!!

WOLVES @ the PALACE

the match of the two undefeated teams ...

the match of the best offence against the best defence ...

the match was intense from the tip off and was really close, which is something that both teams havent experienced this season. the hawks have been together as a core for nearly 3 years straight and the wolves were (literally loving) handpicked by you and lewis just a few months ago.

in the end your boys pulled away in the 3rd quarter and handed the hawks their first defeat of the season. during the final quarter the game had lost control and there were tech fouls being called here there and everywhere. the hawks coach lost his rag (as usual), the wolves coach acting cool, calm and collected (as usual) and the boys will just chilling on the court while the game was still going!!

the final score wolves 76 - hawks 64

COUNTDOWN: one month until A-DAY

its one month until david releases the most awaited album ever ...

well for me anyway ... 

PARTY with the BIEBS

i had bought these tickets for justin last november for darrio's christmas present. 3 rows from the front just to the right hand side of the stage ... epic for darrio.

both mom and i think that darrio might had used the concert as a distraction from you just a little bit ... she had something to look forward to and to forget about the world and just be all about the biebs.

the concert was one of the best i have been to and im not ashamed to admit that ... justin sang, danced, flirted, shook the hair and made the whole audience feel apart of the show and everyone walked out of the dome just buzzing.

darrio loved the night and didnt want it to end and i was just happy and grateful to see her happy after a month of devestation.

THE ROSE

we received so many tributes, cards and flowers for you. our home smelled like a florist for nearly three weeks!!

one of the most touching floral tributes we received was a white box full (and i mean full) of blood red roses from the perth wildcats head office.

the wildcats have always opened their arms to theron and included him as apart of the family but with this simple gesture we know now that it was never just theron they included but it is the entire family.

WOLVES tribute match NIGHT

you and theron (and the family) had only moved to the wolfpack during the off season but because of your commitment to basketball across the state and theron being a hononary wolfpack since he started at woodvale we always felt at home at the den.

that weekend after you had gone the wolfpack held their home games against mandurah magic in honour of you. both the womens and mens wore black armbands and they even had a minute silence just before the mens game.

the wolves definitely know how to honour someone special in the pack :) 

the womens won 80-60 and the mens won 115-81. 

THEY did it for YOU

just days after you passed daddy your boys played their hearts out, with honour in their game and their heads held high.

all the tears, the sweat, the fouls, the layups, the missed layups, the timeouts, the blocks, the 3 pointers, the black armbands, the minute silences, the grand final ... everything was for you.

your boys did you proud daddy.

MARLINS v ROYALS

it was only 4 days since you had passed and it was theron's friday night grand final.

you would have loved this game ... the game of the season ... the grand final ... marlins v royals. this meant of course that out of the 13 boys playing 10 had either been coached directly by you at some point or they were close to you through theron.

the game got physical and tempers flared but they flared because it was for you ... these boys were playing with the raw emotion that they just couldn't deal with in any other way but fight for the ball and fight for the win.

but you would have been proud, the marlins won and they played and won for you.
