Morning Paper

Mum in 2014

My mother relished her morning papers. Even when her vision was failing, she'd still give it her all to peruse through each and every section with her magnifying lens. She was a news and politics junkie and a puzzle enthusiast (Word Searches and Jumbles, if you please). She enjoyed reading our horoscopes to us out loud (and chuckling over them too). Even as a child, Mum would gravitate towards any of the dailies on hand and cut out clippings of poetry or of inspiring special interest stories and paste them into her scrapbook. She had an honest and open curiosity about people and the world around her and a thirst for knowledge and enlightenment. Coupled with her compassion and playful sense of humour, she was such a delight to be around.

I miss my darling Mama.
