Her Life

Mornings with my Mum

July 1, 2013
10 Good Morning Starshine

I remember getting up in the mornings and finding my mother in the kitchen getting our weetbix organised and picking me up and saying good morning little star that shines so brightly.  There were 7 of us, but she always seemed calm and happy.  I wasn't a very good morning mother, but I must say, I have changed over the years to love getting up and by being bright - bright as my mother's star.

My Mother's hands

July 1, 2013
My Nanna Journee (my mother's mum) told me when I came to live with her briefly in 1968 that I had the exact same hands as my mother.  I will never forget how precious that moment was.  I look at my hands and think of my mother and people often comment how lovely my hands are with long fingers and not even wrinkly yet!! I was also told that everytime I laughed it gave Nanna a fright because she thought Jean had come back.  I like to think that all the good things about me come from her and my Dad. 

Lasting memories of my Mum

June 15, 2013

Because I only had her in my life for 5 and a half years, I have only a few memories.  I remember her always being happy and busy.  Well she would have to be with me and my 6 brothers and Dad.


She was beautiful with a staturesque figure, wavy dark hair and a huge laugh.  I am not quite the same, I am tall, but have blond hair - but according to my Nanna, my mum's mum, I have her laugh.  I am so proud of that.
