![]() When I look back I wonder how on earth Mum survived. Mum raised us 5 girls on her own after Dad came back from the war with mental issues. I feel it would be great to hear a 90 yo woman speak of her time back then playing football given that women’s football is now getting some wonderful attention. I rang to try to get some help for anyone to go and even sing a song and a cup of tea. ![]() One wonders how one would cope with these things at that age. Determined to stay in her house by herself she is lonely, going blind and deaf. Jean lives on her on and soo misses the life she once had. Mum was a great pianist and Jean and their other sister Billy were singers and would always be entertaining at concerts with the war songs and song learnt from their father who was a violinist. Sadly Mum is slowly fading away with dementia and Jean still has a sharp mind however I feel Jean is missing the life they used to have. It has taken me aback to take a closer look at their lives and how they have impacted in my own life and why I keep on keeping in with my Gynaecological Health campaign. ![]() ![]() I had absolutely nooo idea that these refined women I knew all my life would even play football. After meeting with my (90 year old) Aunty Jean Tillett yesterday I only now discovered that Jean (bottom left of picture)/my other Aunty Iris Hinchcliffe (top right hand corner) both played football in Kalgoorlie 1944.
