Stefan and I talked about life in Australia as Shabd relaxed in the sun with her crossword puzzles. Dad, Tim and Nick have a common passion for gardening. We had fresh vegetables with lunch, picked just before from Tim's garden!
Nick, Tim, and Tim's best friend Peter hung out in the kid zone to have a few beers and shoot the breeze.
Adrian (cousin Tina's boyfriend) and I discussed music and our similar experiences. We are both songwriters and love to play more than anything.
Dad and Tim looked at pictures of the family from their childhood years. This is the first time they've had the chance to reminisce together and was positively emotional for everyone. Now reunited, the three brothers seem as if they've spent all these years together.
This was a very bittersweet time for Uncle Tim and the entire family as his beloved wife, Marina, recently and unexpectedly passed away. To keep her close, the family members have her picture hanging on the wall of each house and her beautiful embroideries are displayed at Tim's house in her honor. Though we did not have the pleasure of meeting Thea Marina, it is easy for us to see and feel the love shared by her and the rest of our family. Dad and his brothers went to visit Marina in the cemetery on our last day in Sydney. In spirit, she could finally meet Stefo after all of these years.
