Remembering 9/11 🕊️

I remember walking into the living room and seeing Mumsy watching the television. I asked her, “What horrific movie are you watching?”

With a shaky voice, she replied, “This is real. This just happened. It’s a breaking news update.”

We both sat there, completely shocked and in tears, watching as the towers fell.

Today, I remember those who lost their lives, the heroes who ran towards danger to help others, and the extraordinary sense of unity that the world shared in the aftermath.

Sadly, the world we knew changed that day. For a brief moment, humanity seemed to come together in a way that felt almost unimaginable — compassion, solidarity and kindness transcending borders.

We caught another glimpse of that unity during the pandemic, but sadly, that too was fleeting.

Today, the world can feel frighteningly divided — violent, volatile and increasingly driven by greed and fear.

Perhaps that’s why remembering 9/11 matters. Not just to remember the lives lost, but to remember the humanity we were capable of showing one another.

May we never forget the people, the heroes, the families — or the unity. 🕊️🇺🇸

🌴☀️ Gold Coast StayCay Mode: ON ☀️🌴

Just a little heads-up to all my beautiful clients…

I’ll be on annual leave from Sunday 5th October through to Saturday 18th October, taking some much-needed time to recharge with Ray + Alohi 🩷🐾.

If you’re due for a refresh before I head away, I recommend booking your appointment sooner rather than later, as spots will fill quickly. Likewise, if you’d like an appointment when I return, pre-booking is highly encouraged.

Thank you, as always, for your incredible support, loyalty and understanding. I can’t wait to come back feeling refreshed and ready to create beautiful hair again.

See you all soon! ✂️🖤

🩷 One Month Without Kumu 🩷

Our precious little angel,

We can’t believe it’s been one month since we had to say goodbye. In some ways, it feels like only yesterday, yet in others, it feels as though you’ve been gone for so much longer. Time has become such a strange thing without you.

To say you’ve left a huge, gaping hole in our hearts, our family, and our home is an understatement. The silence you left behind speaks louder than words ever could.

We aren’t sad that you’re finally free from pain. You fought so bravely, right until the very end, with the same quiet strength and determination that defined your beautiful little soul. We could never have asked for more from you.

It’s the little things we miss the most.

Being woken for breakfast because, according to you, the sun had been up for hours. Your dramatic huffs and puffs when your patience had completely run out. The gentle click of your little nails across the floor. Your fading bark. Your blissful smile that could brighten even the darkest day. And, of course, your “fur glitter” that somehow found its way onto every surface in the house.

Those ordinary moments have become the memories we treasure most.

We can now smile through the tears as we watch your photos and videos. Our love for you hasn’t faded; not even a little. If anything, it has grown stronger. You loved us so completely and so unconditionally, and we know the depth of our grief is simply a reflection of the extraordinary love we shared.

The tears still come, often when we least expect them, and we’ve learned not to fight them. We welcome every emotion because each one is another reminder that you mattered, that you were deeply loved, and that you always will be.

We always told you that you were the bestest little girl, and you truly were. You taught us a love that can’t be measured, only felt; a love that will stay with us for the rest of our lives.

We still feel you with us in the quiet moments. In the tiny white feathers that appear when we need them most… and even in the not-so-subtle smoke alarm that randomly went off. We couldn’t help but laugh, imagining you cheekily reminding us that you’re still keeping an eye on us… and probably giving your little sister a bit of mischief.

Thank you for every cuddle, every kiss, every tail wag, every smile, and every moment you gave us. Thank you for choosing us to be your daddies. Loving you was one of the greatest privileges of our lives.

You may no longer walk beside us, but you’ll never stop living within us.

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever our little angel.

🩷

Forever in our hearts.

Love always,

Daddies Lee, Ray & little sissy Alohi 🐾🐾
