Women hold up half the sky (Mao Zedong)

Wie geht's?

I've been celebrating having three amazingly brilliant women in my life over three days this week (two of them in that photo above).

Nothing else seems more important this week in Wozza's World than acknowledging them and their influence.

Amazing woman #1 - April 21st, 1984, was our 38th wedding anniversary. As a friend said recently - Jacky deserves a medal (maybe next year).

Amazing woman #2 - April 22nd was my stepmother's birthday. Nita Purdy passed away last year. Dad's second wife was a good friend of my mum's (as that photo indicates) and a terrific grandmother style presence in our family.

Amazing woman #3 - April 23rd, 1930, was my mother's birthday - she would have turned 92. That's up there, but these days, it also isn't really, is it.

Medical science has made huge gains in the last 40 years and no doubt will do so throughout the next 40 years. All of which is a pinprick in time, is it not. 

Love/peace and may God bless them all - now and forever - WNP
