Tagged StephBee ![]() ![]() Third entry June Today has been what I might call tricky. Our daughter came for lunch. On the face of it that statement seems innocuous, but we haven’t seen her for several years. She lives on the other side of Australia. Relations have often been fraught but today she decided to fly home and try to repair the damage. Fair to say it went as well as it could have. I suppose this event has been part of the reason I’ve been looking back to the past these last few weeks. I wonder if looking back might not be a wise thing to do. After all, most of us could have done it better, made wiser choices, or chosen a different path. One of those old videos I’ve spoken about this week brought me joy. It seemed to encompass everything which has made my life worth living. It was taken on a day in 1980. My parents had retired to Australia to be closer to us. My husband videotaped us going to their door when they weren’t expecting a visit, and mum and dad were in the garden. My three little children ran to greet them and mum was laughing and dad was a bit put out by being filmed in his gardening clothes. It was a few minutes with everyone I loved captured for ever in time. |
