Hi Melissa, this article resonates, as, you might have seen, that Mum passed away in January. 96 was a very good innings. Mum wrote down a lot of things and even had diary’s later in life - but, more for practical things. There are a few journals, that can trigger memories and I bought one at Dymocks, which she wrote in. Her beautiful handwriting was fading, too. Luckily, her memory was still pretty good. I feel we all should have something like that, to write in, when we’re younger. It was sad going into Mums aged care, the last 3 years, as, so many of them have dementia. And Mum wasn’t even in the dementia ward. But, company was always welcome. Actually, one of the guys there, lived a very interesting life - shopping with Michael Jackson, meeting and working with some of the big stars over the years. Another lady had triplets. It’s surprising when you delve into some peoples lives. Anyway, thanks for your article - it was really interesting. Excited for you, about your book. How awesome is that? xx
