Mind body soul Arrowtown
This weekend i will be doing auragraphs in Arrowtown on Sunday, so if anyone wants to get their lives sorted out now is the time
Easter holls
Well i have gone a long way since the last time I wrote anything on my blog. the police constable on m,y sons case died recently. I went to his funeral. he was a good chap. Since then things have been getting better for me, in the fact that I have been getting looked after better, my life is moving on. Iv'e even met a man, with whom I seem to spend quite a bit of time . I am supposed to be writing an essay for school, but get easily sidetracked. All I like doing is painting, and being in Central Otago. I think I still need healing after my son's death. I have to attend a court case in Queenstown on Monday. the driver of the 4WD that crushed Liam hasn't even appeared before a Judge yet, and it is allmost a year now. This only prolongs the whole process. but then perhaps we shouldn't move on too quickly. one slowly moves on.
i haver spent all morning looking at the video of Susan Boyle. She is just such a beautiful huyman being. her singing is so moving, that i xcan't even think of writing. I WISH I HAD GOT BETTER AT my electronic arts as I want to post that video on this site so that it is a part of my world too. i will definately buy her CDs so that i can play them in my sports car, as i cruise along with the top downon a beautiful sunny day. She makes me really want to live how I truely feel. We should all be lilving our dreams.

I have been to the student help center, someone came to help me, but we never got anything done. I am no better off and I only get upset when I come here, What shall I do?

work to date
I haven't been able to get my film onto this site yet, as I need extra help. i have spoken to Rachel about this and have gone to William for extra help. Perhaps too it needs to be remembered that my son was recently killed, and I am still reeling from the shock of this, and am trying to cope with Lawyers, coroner, Police, Homicide inquiry, all of which is new to me, and I am finding that it is all rather a man's world, and females may be little spoken down to, so sometimes I am finding myself up against a brick wall as it were. I also have to find out about the laws of this country, having spent most of life in Scotland where life, and the countryside is relatively gentle. I find it a big shock to have to be inadvertently enmeshed in the rigors of NZ society, and the legalities of, which I find on the whole rather rough, and the respect for a life, rather lacking. what IS JUSTICE/ WHAT IS responsibility?

loop film storyboard
we are going to go for a drive and film some scenery.we looked at some sea scenery, as driving along fast on a coastal road, and a loop film of two blokes, bumping into each other in the streets
but decided that a drive would be the best thing. possibly shoot a 360scene as a loop.

continuing saga
Well we have been through the funeral, and cleaned out the boys flat in Queenstown, and pi8cked up Liams tools, I have just taken some back as his boss said they could buy some to help with funeral costs.
Much has happened. At Art school, I couldn't go to classes at first, and just kept up wqith deadlines, and am now in a little class at design school, in ceramics, so that isn't too difficult for me, although I am still getting upset every day. I have been going to the community law centre, trying to find out things, but they ionly say just go along with what the police are doing. I picked up a phamphlet from there for victim support, and they arranged a meeting with the coroner for me. as I don't know how this all works, I need to know how. The coroner said he would get Shreik to take me up to the site where the 4WD wernt over and Liam was crushed by it, and came to rest on a grassy verge on the side of a little trickling hillside stream. That was quite peaceful, but up where the lads had put Liam into the helicopter, i could feel all their grief. I had gone up 2 weeks earlier, but couldn't get up in my car, the road from piano flatisnt that great.
There was also the problem of the news paper article, where they had said, the vehicle was going slowly, three got out, the other one didn't, This sounded as though Liam had just sat there. so Ryan said he would help me with that, but nothing has happened. so I thought we should just write a letter to the Editor.
The ones who saw the 4W@D go over said it all happened in slow motion, But the ones from the top said it must have been going at least 80-90ks, and they had only just got out, so stories vary.
I think liam must have been draged along, judging by his clothes, he was also at the site where the vehicle landed on its side and broke all the side windows, as he had little cuts all over his hands, and his body was crushed at some point, either there, or at the other side of the stream, where it hit the rock and bounced back to the othere side of the stream and onto it's wheels again. Liam came to rest on a grassy verg at the other side of the stream. I sat for a while and them sprinkled water on Liams final resting site.
I have also been trying to find out about the road, and it is a public road, but the Southland end is shut off in the winter. They don't do any maintenence, as to discourage people from using it.
What they call a road is just huge ruts, and I don't know how any vehicle would even think of trying to go up it. Let alone take passengers. I stopped at the shingle creek pub, which is at the other end of the track. the codc grade that end, but only a few bikes go in. the 4WD's just tip over it is so bad, but these mishaps go unreported. We are going over to australia for a few weeks, so it will be good to get away and be warm.
i went up and saw some of the lads, Josh said he had become an alcoholic, but for a good cause.
I saw Dale briefly he wasn't too happy and said they hadn't spoken to the police yet. there is going to be an inquest, but this won't be till nearer the end of the year. Shriek said it was a homocide investigation, I had to look that up in the dictionary.

Well, I was suddenly thrown into funeral arrangements, people, phone calls, food, cards, flowers, weeping, sleeping, trying to keep afloat.
But the first important thing was to get his body back. He had been taken to a funeral home in Gore, being nearest to where the accident happened. They had plans of taking his body to Invercargill for a postmortem investigation. So first thing the next morning, Mother's day. I was on the phone, to Gore funeral home. To the only coroner in NZ on duty that day. I explained that I didn't believe in cutting up bodies, and that the body had to remain still in the place where it lay for at least three days. Well I'll have to phone you back on what I decide. I talked to Shreik the Policeman at Riversdale who was on the job, he said he would do what he could for me.I wanted Liams body back in Dunedin with me. I also got in touch with Hope and Son Funeral directors, because they know what to do in these circumstances.It was later resolved that they would bring the body through to dunedin that day, to be taken to the hospital at 1.30pm.
Well now we were getting somewhere.
By this time the word was out and relations were arriving and suggesting this and that, but I knew exactly what I had to do and held on strongly to that. By 1.30 I was down at the hospital, meeting a brother-in-law there, but the body hadn't arrived and they wouldn't take us down anyway. Had to have a note from the police. This was their jurisdiction. We waited an hour, and max had had enough and went up to the house. I walked down to the police station, where they said he had just arrived at the hospital, and I was given the note. I took this back to the hospital and a policeman came and took me down to see Liams body. What a Mothers day present, the body of my dead boy. I just did healing on him and talked to him. I could see cuts on his face and hands, a large bruise on his chest, his hair clogged with blood. Oh poor boy so fragile and so dead.
