Anne – Waterview
“The last message I sent was in a birthday card for my son.
It’s his birthday tomorrow; Mike – happy birthday! He was a policeman but he’s now in repossession. I’ve been divorced a few times, but my family are the most important thing to me. I have two sons, two daughters, and five grandchildren, and I love them dearly.
I think to make Auckland a happy place you should talk to people and smile and be open-minded to folk. I smile. I smile a lot. That’s good for humanity. Going to certain cafes and relating to the public each day you can connect with people, families, and the older folk.
I go from Waterview to Pt Chev every day on the bus and I have my own seat, and I go to the Coco Café. Everyone’s friendly and it’s just neat. I know them by name and they say hi Annie! I’ve made three close friends through the cafe, and they’re lovely people.”
