Andrew’s Wish was to enjoy time in the garden with his family eating Juliette’s gelato
Spending time with family in the peaceful surrounds of a garden with delicious gelato – Andrew’s Wish was simple, yet full of heart.
Thanks to Juliette’s Artisan Gelato, who generously donated and delivered the gelato, Andrew was able to sample a colourful selection of flavours with his 3 children and family.
But Andrew’s real enjoyment came from watching his children, thoroughly excited as they were trying each flavour.
The day was perfect, warm and breezy, as the afternoon glow filtered through the garden. Andrew lay comfortably outside, proudly showing off his Parramatta Eels bedspread to anyone that would wander past. Even the family dog, Coco, joined in on the family time, adding to the day with her dog specific affection and cuddles (lots of licking).
Andrew’s Wish was a reminder how the connections of family and spending time, simply, often means a lot more to us than we will ever know.
