(always) Learning to See ...

December 20 2009

(RvK) Oma 03 I have been staying with my mum here in sydney over the last fortnight or so. Having just turned 90 she has had a serious health worry lately. Today we went to the wonderful sydney beaches with my brother and his wife. Seeing the para-glyders reminded us all of when my mum, then aged 75, while holidaying with her oldest friend in Bali found herself watching the para sailing folk from the beach. Between ‘mums go for it’ style and her mates playfulness it was only a matter of time before she was up there too, enjoying the flight a great deal until she started praying that she would land without bone breakage. True to style her worry was that too hard a landing for her would, complicate her friends holiday. No bones were broken, but there was an interesting moment when she realised she couldn’t properly see the bloke signalling her on the ground. She hadn’t of course told them her age.
