hi!
when most school leavers
are going to 'schoolie's week' down at the coast,
my friend's daughter has gone to thailand
to help at 'destiny rescue'.
{a halfway house/charity that gives young women a chance at another life style
after they have been sold or enslaved, against their will, into a life of prostitution.}
she has gone armed with small gifts
&
her guitar.
her aim is just to encourage them in their new journey
and to make some new friends.
her mum is a legend.
as well as making and selling
hundreds of jars of homemade jam,
lemon and passionfruit butter
for her daughter's trip
she is renovating her bedroom
while she's away.
the windows have all been reputtied
and the walls undercoated.
a couple of friends and i went around there this morning
and my job was to sand down the furniture
ready for painting...white.
there will be white walls
except for one...
this fabric
will be made into cushions for her bed...
i hope it will be the best surprise for her!
yesterday,
was mary's funeral...
a young woman, a friends daughter,
who died going to work a week and a half ago.
rest in peace, mary.
she had a smile as wide as the sky,
an infectious laugh
&
was a loyal mate
with a passion for life & love.
tomorrow...
a bag to make...two cushions & an apron.
well, that's the plan.
what have you got planned for the weekend?
whatever it is..
do it with all your heart...
