Carl Theodor Gellert Tribute

I remember when i first met Carl properly. My step-father had moved out of his rented house into his new girlfriends unit and left me in his vacant house. Despite the rumors that were spread around about me which were quite nasty, Carl sent Warren to where i was and told him not to return without me even though he was told to keep his son away from me. I was so scared not knowing what kind of greeting i was going to get or what he was even thinking about me. Carl welcomed me with open arms finally someone was willing to give me a chance to prove these rumors will just a nasty person not getting what they wanted. Warren use to go and do alot of things with his mates so Carl and i would sit there day in day outplaying cards, dice games and just talking...I never did win a game either....If you knew Carl you would know why..lol....When i gave birth and came home Carl was such a proud Poppy. I was worried about him being woken in the middle of the night by Amy but to my surprise he would get up with me and help. He never complained about having a baby in the unit or the early morning crying that woke him. Warren and i got our own place not far from Carl, We would go over there at least 3 times a week to do his shopping, pay the bills, and our usual dice and card games...still never winning of course..lol...Over the years we moved countless times, Carl moved to Cairns but after a year or two he had to return due to his health. Carl was blessed with three more beautiful granchildren which he adored dearly. He loved it when they came to visit which unfortunately with us wasn't alot but the times we had were awesome. I will never forget the millions of things that Carl has done for me i truely believe that he plays a major part in where i am today. For this words will and can never express how grateful and thankful i am to him. I will always love and miss you and you will never ever be far from any of us ever. I still can't believe that you are gone and that it has been a year already. As time goes by the pain will weaken and we will all be together again one day. Thank you for everything..xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox.
