A family member said something at a funeral that I’ll never forget:
“Isn’t it strange how far we’ll travel for the dead — yet how seldom we walk across the street for the living?”

It hit me hard.

I thought of the miles people drive for funerals, the flowers piled high on a casket, the words spoken in trembling voices. And then I thought of the days before that — the lonely hospital rooms, the unanswered calls, the quiet struggles no one showed up for.

We are quick to honor people when they’re gone… but slow to show up when they’re still here, still breathing, still needing us.
But what if we changed that?

What if we walked across the street with a warm meal before the fridge went empty?

What if we called just to listen before loneliness settled in?

What if we gave flowers while hands were still alive to hold them?

A supportive community doesn’t wait for funerals to show up. It shows up now.

It’s the knock at the door when you’re tired. The hug when you didn’t ask. The simple words: “I see you. You matter.”

Because at the end of the day, what people need most isn’t a crowd at their graveside.

It’s company at their kitchen table.

💡 Let’s not wait until someone is gone to remind them they were loved.

Let’s build a world where kindness isn’t delayed — it’s delivered daily.

💙 Remembering David 💙

A few weeks ago, we had the privilege of caring for David, a man whose spirit and passion for life left a mark on everyone he met. David, alongside his beautiful wife Bianca, was the heart and soul behind Bisou, a bakery that was not just known for its delicious treats, but for the warmth and care they infused into every single creation.

I truly feel like David and I would have been firm friends if our paths had crossed in different circumstances. Getting to know him through Bianca was a gift, one that I’ll always treasure.
David lived by a simple but powerful saying: “If you touch something, make it better.” And in everything he did, he made it better. Whether it was his work, his relationships, or the way he touched the lives of those around him, David didn’t just show up—he elevated. His emotional intelligence and deep connection to people made him stand out as someone who truly understood what it meant to live fully.

Bianca, in her incredible kindness, gifted us with David’s signature vanilla slices on the day she came to bring him home. As I sat down with my morning coffee, savoring each bite, I couldn’t help but feel that those little vanilla slices were a perfect reflection of David—a little piece of perfection in a world that can often feel imperfect.

David's legacy isn't just about the bakery or the delicious vanilla slices; it's about how he made people feel. He taught us to strive for excellence, to care deeply, and to always leave the world better than we found it.

Rest easy, David. You made this world a much sweeter place, in every way. 🍰✨

On Friday, February 7th, we came together to celebrate the incredible life of Marea. The first thing anyone noticed about her was her radiant smile—it wasn’t just a smile; it was one that lit up the entire room, full of warmth and joy. She had a way of making life more fun, always up for an adventure and a little bit of mischief.

Marea found happiness in life’s simple joys—Grand Final days, pool competition nights, fancy dress parties, and curling up with a good book on the beach, toes buried in the sand. But above all, she loved her family. Some of her happiest moments were spent around the dinner table, sharing stories, laughter, and homemade pizza under the party lights, gazing up at the stars.

Nothing, however, could top the joy of camping in the Kombi with her husband and best friend, Ben—their love story was truly one for the ages.

Marea, you will be so deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing you, but none more so than Ben and the kids. Your love, laughter, and light will live on in the hearts of those who cherished you.

Yesterday, we embarked on an 8-hour return journey to Chinchilla to bring a beloved individual into our care. These long drives are not just part of the job but offer a chance for quiet reflection—time to honor the trust placed in us and to consider the importance of the work we do. Along the way, we were reminded of the stunning beauty of our country, from wide-open skies to rolling landscapes, each mile serving as a gentle reminder of the connection we all share with this land. It's a privilege to serve families, especially when it takes us on these heartfelt journeys.

We want to remind you that it's okay to grieve, to feel that absence, and to carry your loved one in your heart. While the table may be different this year, the memories and love you shared will forever remain a part of your story. 🌟

Take time for yourself, honor the moments, and remember that healing is a journey. ❤️
