My aunt sent me a photograph taken of her and me back in the 1950s.
It came with a letter and my uncle's funeral card.
At the time I was living with her in Karori for nearly a year while my mother was recovering in hospitals and back in Eiffelton with her parents following surgery after a bad accident. I was 'farmed' out to my Aunty Bridie; my brother was sent to Ashburton to stay with an uncle; my older sister was sent to Blenheim to stay with another aunt.
Dad was busy with his contracting business and was spending every spare moment building our house in Vogeltown. It must have been a stressful time for mum and dad. This photograph brought back a lot of memories of my life with my aunt and uncle (who died last month).

Precious memories.
Thanks.
Yes, we have one life and need to live it as best we can. To me my past is as important as the present in some ways and both shape my future.
A nice thought.
Yes, totally agree.
