Mum's crying for their children

Since appearing in the TVNZ documentary,
"It is OK to cry."
It has become my catch phrase.

In my book on the chapter of Tragedy,
I wrote about 3 mums who lost their sons.

I am glad my grand father,
Showed me "It is OK to cry."
and "It's OK to talk about our departed loved ones."
My Uncle drowned when he was four,
Grand father talked about him in his 70s.
Today, I like to tell my fellow bereaved mum,
Violeta Pineda Zepeda,
for tomorrow she lost her daughter Maribel to Sids 5 years ago.
and on May 15, 2013, she lost her Jayden,
How cruel it is for people to tell her,
"It's NOT OK to cry."
So cry, my dear Violeta,
I cry with you.

Auckland University and my books





I revisited my alma mater, Auckland University.  In my time, it was called Old Arts Building, and I had many lectures there. Now it is called the Clock Tower.
I am so thrilled that all 3 of my books are in the library.

Good day. I represent a company that sources New Zealand authored and published works for leading University and Public Libraries overseas. Commercial and Non-commercial publications are very valuable to the libraries for research about New Zealand.

Isabella, the beautician.




Photo borrowed from my cousin's wife Helen, who is learning Beauty Make up in TAFE in Australia.

 Isabella became a very good  beautician. She went to the hospital to work on burnt victims and pregnant women who were in ante natal ward.

Her big break came, when a Television actress found her work very good, and recommended  her to be a Beauty artist and effects.
