Thank you for being a loving, compassionate, beautiful Mother and Grandmother. I hope you have a fantastic day full of love and happiness.

Vanessa,
There were a pair of red high heel shoes. I thought that Mum was so fancy because she had this pair of shoes. I would go into her cupboard and try them on, feeling as if I was as fancy as she was. Necklaces and shoes surely meant this woman was fancy.
Our Kalgoorlie house felt like a mansion. We had big rooms and a back yard that provided entertainment. There was never any restrictions on what we could do. Well okay, we were made to fill in the hole that we were digging for the pool and not allowed to jump off the roof onto the trampoline ( I think we still kept doing it anyway ) Childhood was happy. Just plain happy, I think of the effort it took Mum to make it happy for us. It doesn't come easy I have realized. How she controlled her temper with 7 children of all ages doing all sorts of things I will never know. I only remember being smacked on my hand once....and that was when I had to join the queue with my other Sisters for whatever we had done! But it must have been big because it is the only memory of being told off by Mum that I have. She wasn't just a Mum to us but the many other Young Women and Women that fell in her realm of influence were affected by her Motherly ways. She showed us and other women how to live a life pleasing to God. Nothing was too much in the way of callings and prayers and scriptures were always said and read. It is true that we did not doubt because our Mother knew it.
I can see see now the many sacrifices that she has made over her life for her children.I have never heard Mum speak negatively about being a Mother. Even though we have all left home we find ourselves wanting Mum at those crucial times in our lives. She comforts and loves us like no one else can. For 67 years the world has been blessed by her presence and may there be so many more. Happy Birthday Mum lots of Love Vanessa

Nicolette,
Let me tell you what I know about you, you love Dad he is your favourite person, you love cheese, you drink a lot of water, you love your Grandkids, you always wish you had more energy. You love the Gospel with your whole heart.
You have grown to love your parents more, you worry a lot about your children, you love to have a good laugh, You enjoy your friends. Gayle is really good at listening.
You get anxious about doing new things.
You love having the family over, but struggle with the tidy up after.You buy Nutella only when the kids stay over, but you make the most of it while it's in the house. You love wild flowers, you notice that a bunch of leaves have made a circle.
You don't like when Dad works away, but you try to keep busy.
You totally believe in the power of Prayer,
You don't like the heat mostly because it gives you a headache. You love a clean and orderly house.
Mum I could write more, I want you to know I see you your noticed, your loved!
I feel very blessed to have such a lovely Mum. Thanks for all you do.

To Mother Goose. I feel your age just as much as you do. I love your listening ears. They are always on and ready to hear, even when you are tired or unwell or exhausted from hearing someone else's burdens.
Those ears stay on and eager to hear. What a blessing to those that use those ears as compassion, empathy and an unwavering support flows from her. She is always on my side, always my biggest fan and won't stop worrying that Mother Goose head of hers about all of her Family.
I love her MOST. They all know it and that's ok because I need her cuddles still. Happy Birthday Laj.
Nome.
