My thoughts on the past week…
The highlight of this week has been our daughter graduating with a double degree in maths and commerce from the University of Queensland . I was fortunate enough to be able to juggle client appointments so that I only missed two work days which I will be doing on Monday and Tuesday next week instead.
That said this week is tinged with sadness and shock at what happened in Bondi on Sunday. I have had very sad conversations with clients about how are they feeling about the events at Bondi. No one is unaffected.
No parent should ever lose a child to violence
No wife a husband
No family a father or mother
No community a beloved rabbi
No holocaust survivor should die in such horrible circumstances in what is considered a safe country
No group of people should live in fear
Not anywhere and especially not in Australia
Where many of us have immigrated to escape fear and violence
This has been a heartbreaking week
As a mother my heart goes out especially to Matilda’s family
My message is to be kind to those around us. Everybody is going through something. Hug your loved ones.
In thoughtfulness,
Robyn
