I have to acknowledge a story of survival, brought about by the dedication of carers at the hospital run aged care facility caring for our father. He has now spent 16 months being completely dependent on his carers and us for everything. He turned 90 in September and we gathered up his siblings and as many of his children and grand children to spend the morning with him. He still loves his small pieces of chocolate and the time people spend beside him. If his old self knew what he would be doing now, he would be appalled and angry but thankfully he isn't.
We also took the opportunity that day to meet the newest member of the family with a new granddaughter in law meeting quite a few of the rest of us. Always exciting when love prevails.
A further update:
This post had been sitting in Draft form for 2 weeks.
Our Dad went into palliative care on Monday 20 October after losing the ability to swallow and aspiration pneumonia was beginning.
He passed away Thursday 23 October 2025 after a very busy life.
Vale: Mr Henry Allan Meyer OAM.
A pioneer and servant to the Citrus Industry of Mundubbera and to the Meyer Family.
I will dedicate a further post to his story in the upcoming days.
