That’s what FRIENDS DO


I asked some friends of differing ages and experiences, What’s the first thing that comes to mind with this statement, ‘That’s what friends do’.
Dan said, “A couple of my friends store a few beers at my place at the beginning of the week, ready for our after work conversations in the workshop.” Leanna answered the question with, “My friends remember my birthday!” (It should be said here, that for years, the only birthday I remembered was my twin brothers). 
Darcie smiled and then said, “My best friend Jen and I don’t see each other much, but she recently surprised me by booking flights from the south coast of New South Wales (Australia) to see me for two days. Such a crazy girl. But that meant such a lot to me.” 
Mary-Anne thought for a few seconds, “My friend dances with me on my house deck in the moonlight.” 
I spoke with Michelle and Sue together, their thoughts are combined. “Sue rings me or sees me at exactly the right time. We have known each other for 26 years. We uplift each other and are always honest. There is integrity between us. If we don’t see each other for a while and meet up, our last meeting feels like it was yesterday.” 
Basil shared that, “At my age a number of my friends are unwell. I like to go and see them to cheer them up. We have a few laughs together and in my own way I can help them escape their pain for a while. I’m there for them” As we all are.

GRANDMAS and GRANDKIDS

Grandmas are everywhere. I’m married to one. Their many kindnesses to their grandchildren are honoured in this blog post.  Let me start with my grandma in Auckland. Grandma Webb would host her six grandchildren every Friday night for fish and chips, followed by calcium cookies for dessert. This can’t have been easy for her as we weren’t always on our best behaviour! My mum would let our daughters do baking, preparing cookies for the oven on her kitchen floor (covered with newspapers). They would create a tray each and according to mum were always perfect. With mums help they also created their own oil paintings.  My wife Val (Marzie or Jamma to her eight grandchildren) has spent countless hours over the years with them. Our oldest grandchild Jackson was picked up after school and did his homework with her. They have enjoyed many cafe breakfasts together and Jackson has never turned the offer of a breakfast or brunch down. Now, Jackson’s sport is MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) Val me...

BOOTS and ALL

Kids shying away from playing sports because of financial difficulty is a past and present issue. I remember our Auckland Eastern Suburbs rugby coach, Frank Allen (younger brother of Fred Allen, a past All Black coach) generously giving a pair of boots to one of our team mates so he could play. His kindness must have impacted me as this was over 60 years ago. Frank saw a need and did something about it.  When I was teaching at Hamilton Boys’ High School, senior students would organise second hand boot sales every year for students whose families could not afford new boots to play either rugby, football or hockey. The boots were still in good condition from the previous season and were sold for a few dollars. A wonderful school based initiative that gave an opportunity for all students to play a sport of their choosing.  I am aware of two men preparing to run 100kms by doing laps of Piha and Papamoa beach. Harry (former teacher) and Albie (Navy) have organised their runs to rai...
