This amazing Lady was 93 on the 24th of March 2012...she is remarkable...fiercely independent.....her joy totally comes from her family.......She is a marvelous Mother to her sons, one whom she lost at his age of 39 which broke her heart...it's a bit of a fuzzy picture but you can see the light in her face...the light of a righteous woman......She looks at everything in a positive light, more so since she has gotten older....she has the constitution of a very strong person ...she has always looked after herself, always eaten the right food and been mindful of exercise....... we all can learn much from her and her wisdom......She is one eyed in regards to her Sons....... it is impossible for her to see anything else....they are lucky to have such a Mother in their corner all of their lives.....She adores her Grandchildren and her Great Grandchildren who put on a Concert for her today in the Park...Nanna is their biggest fan in Sport or any of their interests....
.I can remember each day when her children would come home from work or School (when her son's were little,) there would always be a pot of soup full of vegies ....come Summer or Winter......her children's health was all important..... She was and still would be if she could a hard worker I can remember that she must have been about 65 yrs old and she took on the project of painting the whole of the outside of the house in Kalgoorlie..... up and down ladders ...high in the air...gosh I struggle now to stand on a little ladder for fear of falling off.
She is brave, and at the ripe old age of being 84 she stood up to an intruder in her house...and once more the young lad left without having taken anything from her home.
I don't think that there is much this Lady could not do when .....except see any of her children suffer....it was too much for her.
She has very strong views on things.....and absolutely loves Sport....particularly Cricket..she is a proud Australian...and loves men particularly those with strong legs !!! Sione does well.
She was the one Sister who was there for all of her siblings in their latter years...they have all departed now....oh but what a greeting she can look forward to when she meets up with her well loved parents and her adored Son and siblings.
Although she may yet live to be a 100 and get a special message from the Queen...we all hope so ...but do not want her to suffer in anyway.
This little Park is in Armadale it has become very meaningful to us all..I think that all of us would find it very hard to drive past this Park once she has gone...as there are so many memories attached to it.....I have grown to really love her....... I'm so grateful that she has been around for so long, as that feeling has taken some years to come.....but now I really admire, respect, and adore her......I think I needed to mature a little...... and she mellow a little.........It was a good day...we have all been richly blessed because she is still around to bless our lives.
