Whispers from the Past Part 3

Their love, respect and humour, along with their “down to earth” way of living, and being, taught me a love for nature, fun, and a respect for the skills and qualities I have developed over the years.

They are  Bill or “Billy” my Father, who was the centre of my world, until he passed, when I was only 24, he was 54.

He always encouraged me to do what I loved, and to have fun doing it.

Archie was my Grandfather (dad’s dad), a quiet, humble man who loved his garden, but always found time to have fun with his family.

Alfie was my Mother’s Father, a strong man, a hard worker, and a wonderful story teller. I remember hours of magical fun, listening to his stories, and crocheting with my Nana.

Our Archie square is a diamond, the diamond signifies refracting light. This translates into the soul taking a journey to achieve higher understanding to reach clarity and enlightenment. At the end of the path, the soul will sparkle and shine like a diamond.
