Kasih’s Journey

Kasih’s Story is many steps closer to Adelaide this week -

I attended the ANZAC day Dawn Service in Christchurch today - hundreds of people gathered as the sun rose, to commemorate the efforts of those Aussies and Kiwis who have fallen in war around the world.

I was wearing my grandfather’s medals, and those of his best friend Johnny.  I never met my grandfather, yet every ANZAC Day has become special for me when I bring out his medals and remember him as my Granddad.  In my ideal world, he will be there in Heaven to meet me when I arrive 

The ANZAC Spirit of comradeship and mateship lives on in us today - and its very evident in the support that is being offered for little Kasih.

Kasih had her first birthday just recently.  Wow… ONE YEAR OLD!! - I wonder how the family celebrated?  Its a two sided celebration I think…. the joy of their little girl turning one, but also the fear of how little time may be left..

The ‘ANZACs’ of today are doing what Aussies and Kiwis do best - getting behind a cause and standing up to say “we are going to make a difference - we will help to make it happen”.   Kasih WILL look forward to her 5th birthday, her 10th birthday, her21st!!  Because we can make that difference.

Kasih’s supporters are not just Aussies and Kiwis though.  We are a melting pot of people from all around the world - a micro demonstration that everyone can get along, can make a difference individually, and that the world can be a good place.

The spirit of ANZAC is alive and well - it shows in stories like Kasihs Story.

Warmly
