REMEMBERING THE EIGHTIES

 My Story continued:

It was a hot summer in January 1980. The girls were given new outfits for Christmas from Aunty Ada.

It was an exciting time for Sonya. It was her first day at school. Carol was going into Year 3. They were at Springwood Central State School. 

 Later in the year my Mum and Dad flew from Sydney to visit us.

It was Dad's birthday in May, he turned 66.

A  week later it was Carol's eighth birthday.

 

We took Mum and Dad to visit the new Botanic Gardens at Mt Coot-tha.

It was the last time my Dad visited us. He became sick and was diagnosed with bone cancer. 

Saying goodbye to Grandma and Granddad at Brisbane Airport.
