Thank you to my children David, Tim, Nyssa, Amber and Kinji; my sisters and brothers Julie, Lorraine, Keith, Aubrey, Louis, Mario and JJ; my family in Arnhem Land, the Tiwi Islands and overseas; and my little furry ones Pootsie, Jonty, Cheekychops and Tiger Lilly (and of course the ones who have passed who will never be forgotten). May your lives be filled with love and light and may you be blessed for having known me and cherished me for who I am.
