The real swAN

There has been a lot of talk about 'swans' in the media lately.

It's easy to be mesmerized by the beauty of a swan gliding gracefully on a lake.

Our Mum would have been 95 years of age today. And just like a swan, my Mum's hard work was all done beneath the surface, making it look effortless.

Recently my family came to visit. We spent time sharing old photos, enjoying traditional food and giving our own take on the fabulous, silly and sometimes tricky memories of growing up together. It was wonderful.

On her special day (and every day), we remember and appreciate the dedication and effort of our beautiful, elegant, witty, youthful and fun-loving Mother. We miss you.

Happy Birthday, Margaret Jeanne Berniece Jackson Stout.
