This was a very special moment for me. I have written before about the chances of such an event happening and have plotted how the story has unfolded from casual conversation over a drink at Auckland airport to the Doha Golf Club to now an apartment off Salwa Road. What an interesting journey it has been. Well here we are. Can you see the family resemblance Dad? This is Pip and her husband Gary along with Phil’s wife Marion. Interestingly enough Marion’s sister’s daughter is principal of Samuel Marsden. Well it was great to share a meal with whanau, relatively close whanau I might add. Second cousins are not too far disconnected. They are lovely, friendly people and I felt very much at home. Marion talked of your Dad, Moss and how Phil kept a photo of Roland in his prayer book. Two years ago if you had asked me I wouldn’t have known anything about Qatar let alone where it was. Now I can say its where you “coast” cousins hang out.
