Hi from New Zealand, it is Shanti again.
I want to say hello from all of us in New Zealand.
Before I begin our next story, I have just a bit of news first. A week ago, Jenny woke up during the night in a lot of pain. She was so bad that Peter called an ambulance and she was rushed to hospital.
The result of all this is that she has lost the baby. She was in hospital for most of the week and only just came home again yesterday. The doctors have told her that it is very likely she will not be able to have any more children.
I do not know that they will be too disappointed at this because they still have the girls. This pregnancy was an accident, as they were not planning any more children before this anyway.
Mike and I went over to see her last night and took them a meal. Jenny is still very upset. We are all going to have to help her and support her until she gets over it.
Of course, the rest of us are all doing well.
We are now getting through our stories of the time we were at the resort on the Great Barrier Reef. With this trip, the difficulty has been trying to put the stories in order. The problem is that many of the stories overlap each other. For example, this story covers three nights and so any adventures we had during those three days, such as Jenny and Peter’s Story 91 Checking out the Girls and playing the chess games Story 95 Grand Strip Chess, happened during this same time period.
The hardest part has been Katrina and Mike’s story. This begins back when her first story finished and goes on until the last few days of our resort holiday. We finally divided her story up into sections but still, they do not fit exactly right.
In the end, we really just had to leave each story as a separate story and use introductions and details within each letter to try fitting them all together. Anyway, since you were all there, I know you can work it all out for yourselves.
