Picture 002 - Victorian Holiday

This is my grandmother, one of the few people I know who doesn't have an email address.

She lives in Mount Gambier, and this photo was taken in her living room. She moved to Adelaide for 18 months or so about ten years ago, but it all turned into a bad experience, with her friends left-behind in Mount Gambier and her house far too many miles away from any useful part of Adelaide, so her and her husband moved back "home".

My grandfather died very suddenly from cancer about six years ago and she's been alone ever since. I try to call her whenever I can, but I don't suppose that's often enough. With her heart condition, arthritis and diabetes, I can't help feeling that I'll never see her again whenever I'm turning off from the end of her street towards home upon completion of a visit to her, which is pretty depressing. I should make a better effort.
