A Quick Tour Through Some Missing Highlights

I went to Auckland for work in September and visited Waiheke Island off Auckland. Beautiful place.

My grandmother died. Not so much a highlight, but something very big in my life. I was so close to my Na (Mum’s mum). In a somewhat freaky moment, she died at 7:17am on the 17/07/07. I travelled up to be with my Mum and do the funeral. Tam joined me. Nan had asked me to do the eulogy (i’m such a good eugologiser thanks Derock!) before she died. So I did. That was tough.

So we buried her and with that, all of my grandparents are gone. I’m now my parents generation. Strange realisations followed. I did the eulogy for my grandfather 3 years ago (Dad’s dad). Nan was the only one left. She was doing it tough due to some heart attacks in recent years, but lived to celebrate her 90th birthday and see one last mother’s day where all her kids gathered around.

What else?

Ummmmm. That will have to do for now as I have to go entertain Tam for a while
