The sparkle and glare from the hot Queensland sun reflects into my eyes and I reach for my sunglasses and pull my large-brimmed hat even further down my face.
On vacation, visiting family in Far North Queensland at the absolute hottest time of the year, my thoughts ramble. I remininice about the time when my babies were the same age as this little grandson I’m holding in my arms. The memories are like ghosts and it seems as if that time when I was a young mother, over fifty years ago, never really happened; I feel like a completely different person. I attempt to harness anecdotes and facts about my kid’s childhoods and relate them over dinner with my adult children, who are together with me in the same city location for the first time for many years. It is simply serendipitous we’re all here in Cairns together for a few days. After many failed attempts to reunite, it just seemed to just happen that everyone was available in 2025 to spend a weekend away from their work and responsibilities with their siblings and mother.
When I’m back home in Perth I’ll sit on the couch with my husband, who’s not well enough to make the journey, and I’ll try to make him feel as if he’d been there with us with photos and videos. But it won’t be quite the same.
