State of Play 2009

Robyn here. Thank you to those who have seen and appreciated our film. It is nearly six years since Maeve died. We all think of her every day, but generally not in a sad way. In many ways for all three of us she gives our lives more depth and meaning. Here are some photos of us now. Frank is heading off to Arizona to the annual international festival of the psycho-therapeutic process known as deep interactive imagery, which continues to be his major work focus, although he also loves his work as a primary school pastoral care worker. I have turned 50, lost 6 kg, survived breast cancer, and stopped dyeing my hair. I continue to enjoy being a physician, and I continue to explore art and writing. I did write the Patsi Zipping novel, but it didn't work, even though many of the characters and images remain alive inside me.
As for Tara, well, she is really something, a 14yo in high school, walking to and fro by herself and juggling keys, electronic devices, shopping, cooking, assignments... She bears the load of the 'one left behind' with incredible resilience, no doubt aided by a very practical nature, our adoration, and an awareness that Maeve would be proud of her.
