Four prominent Australians write letters telling of their love and gratitude for their precious mums’ strength and support. MothersDay Mums
Jacqui Lambie: “Going back to a military career at all of 19 was really quite difficult, so I’ll always be grateful that you were beside me.”My father thinks I’m an absolute angel but you, as a realist, know that I’m not. I’ll start by apologising for my behaviour over the years. There have been many incidents, but I am pretty sorry that you had to pick me up from the police station not once, but twice, when I was 13.
You also supported me when I was trying to get my senate seat the first time round – you made it very clear you thought I was never going to make it, but you pretended that you did! The following piece is a short apology letter composed by Sunny three months before his birth, a time many regard as when he was at his peak and showed the most potential in life.It’s now 87 days until I enter this world and I’m so sorry for what is coming. Nice try, but giving me a name like Sunny won’t stop me from being quite a sombre, dark and generally gloomy child.Unfortunately, this won’t change that much as I move through adulthood.
But I would also like to say thank you. Because, despite all my despicably appalling behaviour, you will somehow always love me unconditionally. You will also teach me the ways of the world, constantly holding my hand through the dark, and show me the value and wisdom of holding tolerance and respect towards others.
