It was spooky. He said he was at RAAF bases, local and NSW, and mentioned a name I didn’t know, I showed him 1966 crash from online. I asked him when he was there. He had been an apprentice there at the time, and knew the type of jet. I looked it up after and it was the just north of Newcastle base. We had been talking about lots of science, music and cultural history. he was also Dutch, so we talked about WWII in the Netherlands as well.
It’s just important, as we were raised that we were in orphanages due to dad being mad. End of story. However, I know that is not the simple truth anymore. Mother had the same diagnosis. It didn’t add up. Cos he was usually respectful, considerate and socially relevant and taught me many little things in a child appropriate manner. Children do not always know what is going on and it can take a while to put the puzzle pieces together. I always knew it wasn’t my fault we were abandoned. I didn’t know how to be cheeky or naughty.
Yes, I will go gently today. Making chicken and creamed corn soup and going to a concert tonight with a friend of 3 years, as someone gave me free tickets.
Thank you @Dimity @tyme
