I'm glad you got out with your sister and your nephew @ArraDreaming and you were able to make a connection between your Mum and your daughter with the purple ribbons

It's interesting that you don't realise your parents struggles until you become an adult and reflect.
I imagine it's even more so when you have children (I don't have any children, so don't actually know)

I'm a shorty @ArraDreaming I'd never be in a ruck! I've never played AFL. I have played cricket and rugby league (in a very early women's team)
I'm glad your kicking goals though - in life and in footy
