Anna's Story - a Tribute to Love
ANNA’S STORY - a Tribute to Love:
Life is a wonderful teacher, if one is of a mind to learn. It can be harsh, unforgiving, cruel. It can also be rewarding, inspiring and uplifting. Above all it is a journey we all must make.
We can’t determine our coming to this earth, often we can have little say in the manner and timing of our departure. But, to a certain extent we can choose how we travel along the road.
All my pharmacy training was about finding remedies, cures and treatments. However, there are some things which can’t be fixed.
As I lived with and watched Anna’s struggle, as her optimism gradually eroded to despair, as her stoicism became punctuated with bouts of rage and frustration, as she finally succumbed to the terrible inevitability of what was happening, I reluctantly realized that there comes a time when it is alright to cease a battle which can’t be won. Through Anna’s illness and by her example I learned acceptance.
Why ‘Anna’s Story, a Tribute to Love’?
My decision for this book was influenced by many factors.
Firstly, it was a catharsis for my grief; secondly I believed my children and grand-children should know and thus develop understanding of what love truly is; thirdly I felt there are many others in society who are facing the dilemmas and tragedies of terminal diseases and I hope that, perhaps, Anna’s tale might help them also find acceptance.
Finally, it is my tribute to a marvellous woman who shared, changed and so enriched my life.

BOOK REVIEW
Published in the Southern Highlands News, Wednesday 30th November, 2011.
‘The Chaos Vortex’ by local author Rob Ennever is a remarkable book. Remarkable in that it can be read and enjoyed at two levels. For those of you who want a gripping, page-turning holiday or travel read with a compelling story-line, this is for you!
From its dramatic opening in riot-torn London the reader is transported back in time to become totally involved with a cast of intriguing characters drawn from vastly different backgrounds.
As their sometimes tragic and often brutal stories develop and circumstances shape destinies, inevitably paths cross and lives collide with disastrous consequences.
And for those who like something thought-provoking, this exciting novel revolves around many of the controversial issues confronting us today. Unbridled greed, media manipulation, drug addiction, social breakdown, civil unrest and mindless violence, all portrayed against the background of a moving love story.
