We met when we were very young
We came from different worlds
Songs of love we quickly sung
As our love unfurled

We married soon in 83
And bought a little house
Chose to live in Padbury
Life was mainly grouse

Christian arrived in 86
And Nicholas in 88
Ebony in 89 completes the mix
We had a brimming plate

3 in 3 was very hard
You did amazing stuff
As a mom you really starred
Even when it was tough

Soccer Cricket Dancing
We ran from here to there
It took a lot of planning
There was a lot to share

Bali Tokyo USA
Mandurah Kalbarri
Living on Port Phillip Bay
Places we got to see

As time went by we grew apart
I couldn’t keep my vow
I’m sorry that I broke your heart
But glad we are friends now

You held it all together
When I moved away
You survived whatever
Came along your way

Thank you for staying the course
And being mum and dad
For the children a loving force
Best mum they could have had

  2. Jose Ruggero, somehow this crazy world has led me to read this website. Not sure if you remember me I was a school friend of Christians. Hope you’re happy and healthy. Thanks for creating a home where I was comfortable and accepted. Lots of love
