Paula and Coni

I somehow lost my entry....but not the comments and thank you for them...I'm still playing around ...but this time I'm on my Main Computer....We went to see My cousin and Coni Yesterday Sunday.......but just 1 hour before we got there...Poor Coni was taken to Palative care by ambulance and so maybe it was the right time as Paula realized that he will never come back to their family home ....just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.....She is amazingly strong...I with the knowledge I have may not have been so strong which just shows you how powerful a positive outlook and having accepted the outcome can be....not saying that she didn't break down several times....but soon pulled herself back......we talked about family things my Dutch family that is....she has such great knowledge of them.... she being 9 years older then me......and knows so much more specially what happened to our family during the war years..all that hse told me it was really tuff...she said that my Mother only had one pair of shoes and one of them had the heal broken off..so she always went around hobbling........ I know why didn't she break of the other heel !!! but can't ever judge I was not there.....but it certainly has built the respect I have for Family..
Paula asked if she can stay with me when I come back...I told her I would do anything for her anything.
I was so happy to have been able to drop of some meals for her....it's the least I could do.

We then went and had a wonderful lunch ...home made Pizza with Gayle and Reg....... We loved every bite.

I will probably be away when Coni passes on and I wish that I could be there for Paula to comfort her...but she has a marvelous Son and Daughter in Law and two marvelous Grandchildren.....who have been a great strength to her...we are the only family here in Australia...... hence all the emotion.....but I really don't need to make any excuse....thats how it is.
