The last school Holidays was an eventful
one for us. Arama came down really sick, so on the Tuesday I left him in bed
with the kids and headed off to work. Abot 10:30am I had a call, “come home the
house is flooded”. I drove as quickly as I could. There was parts of the road
on the way that were flooded and slowed the journey a bit. 15 min later I
arrived home to see a stream of watrer traveling down our driveway. At the
bottom, our family bailing out water – even my sick husband who should have
been in bed. Our plaee was wet through.
My close friend (and Boss) came over and
took the little ones away, brought
lunch and offered us to go and stay at her parents home next door to her as it
was empty. We took her up on that offer. Looie was amazing. She had the fires
stoked, dinner cooked, beds made for us, Nothing was a problem. She even called
her husband from work to come and help us.
That day was the biggest downpour in
Auckland for a long time, Many homes were flooded along with ours. I was so
grateful that we were able to have a wonderful friend and her family coming to
our aid and giving us so much.
We were offered to stay as long as we
needed to. So we did.\\
