One
of the major family birthdays we went back to Australia for was my dad’s 90th.
We
were a little worried about giving him a heart attack as: he didn’t know that a
party had been arranged and he didn’t know that Tania and I had flown back
especially for this.
The
look on his face was priceless.
We
invited a lot of his friends who came over in the 50’s with dad (those that
were still around) – these people were my surrogate aunts and uncles and I hadn’t
seen many of them in over 20yrs.
It
was also the first time in ages that the entire Doimo clan (of Australia) were
together in the one place at the same time.
It
was a great afternoon and I know dad loved being the centre of attention.
