I had most of my crazy family there as well. My Mum, Dad, Uncle, Great Aunty & Brother. Here is my brother & uncle & mum.

Simone, my best best girlfriend came with her boy. Simone & I have been bffs for 15 years now, we met in primary school & despite a states separating us for most of our friendship, we have stayed close.

That my black friend will now refer to me as ‘little whitey’ & that my parents knew I was getting my tongue pierced even thought I was always certain I had hid the date well & all the love…
