Paul's Story


FAMILY STORY

The story of Paul’s family – as told to artist Marie Ryder, in 2017. When Paul and Bernadette came together, Paul had a son and a daughter. Bernadette had two sons. Paul has been adopted into an Aboriginal family where his totem is the crocodile (baru) and Bernadette comes from Sri Lanka which is represented by the lion’s paws. They came together and they were married.


Paul's daughter married a man and had two daughters. Paul's son has a partner and they have a daughter. Bernadette's boys (young men) are still living at home with us. Important things in the family are: faith in Creator God, music (with one son playing guitar and another playing double bass) and food.
