Hi Everyone Thursday 6 th Anniversary
oh it was so hot & muggy really oppressive
The food was good as usual.
I did get chance to show all the interested people
my Governor General's Congratulation letters
there are so many letters
that i have put them in a folder,
when i told Minister Di Farmer that i had got the OAM
She was so excited She gave me 3 big hugs.
I also got heaps of hugs & many meaningful words
of congratulations from everyone standing near her.
Their recognition made it feel so Proud.
There was mention of the award by the mc.
My phone has been busy by people
Asking why was there no mention of the award?
Many people are expressing their disappointment, &
disgust,that the opportunity was missed
as this was the first time since the award that members
of the Adoption community were present at this major
Adoption event.This has left many people feeling that it was
Disrespectful,The excuse given caused me to contact
The Governor Generals office for clarification
Where i was reassured that I was Officially
Awarded the Honor of OAM on Australia Day's Honor list.
Saturday 26 th of January 2019, at 12 am.
my name was placed on Governor Generals official web site.
Also officially placed by the Governor General's department
in the Newspapers.
Thank you everyone for your support love & care.
From Patricia Large OAM
