 Today was Anzac Day, and in memory of our ancestors that came before us, we stood on our driveway for our remote dawn service.
The last post played poignantly from the house across the way, just as we settled the kids for a minute of silence. Tears rolled down my face as we got ourselves present to the kinds of moments our ancestors may have faced during their time at war. Thank you for your courage and your fear. Thank you for our freedom and the privilege of the lives we lead. They gave their tomorrow to give us our today. Lest We Forget. In moments like these I receive messages of music, and for some reason today, after our service, this song Dream a little dream of me, came up for me. Maybe it was hearing the birds singing in the silence of our silence. Maybe it was thinking about the separation and reunion of loved ones before and after war. I don’t know but I don’t protest the welcoming of the information. I trust my intuition and accept them as gifts. We can dream a little dream because of our freedom, we can daydream because of you, we can embrace our loved ones because of you. Stars shining bright above you Night breezes seems to whisper I love you Birds singing in the sycamore tree Dream a little dream of me Say nighty night and kiss me Just hold me tight and tell me you miss me While I’m alone and blue as can be Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on dear Still craving your kiss I’m longing to linger til dawn dear Just saying this Sweet dreams til sun beams find you Sweet dreams that leave your worries far behind you. But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on dear Still craving your kiss I’m longing to linger til dawn dear Just saying this Sweet dreams til sun beams find you Sweet dreams that leave your worries far behind you. But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me What is your favourite version of this beautifully written song. I love the different ways this song can be sung.

AuthorWe are a family of shopkeepers. We share our journey with the world, right from where we are. If we were to plot on a map where our family hails from, of course, the majority are from China and Indonesia, and now Australia, however we are still discovering the facts of our heritage so much is still unknown. We were raised in Darwin, Northern Territory, and when our ancestors arrived to Darwin, unfortunately, after the tropical cyclones Darwin is renowned for, a lot of our records disappeared. This journey we share is about documenting our lives now, for our next generations and also for providing the difference we want to make right now. Archives
