The start of this week marks Father's Day for most of the world. This picture of Schapelle's mum Rose holding a photo of Schapelle I thought beautiful to post today.
It has been several months since the passing of Michael Corby, Schapelle's father, to cancer. Mr. Corby died before he got a chance to return to Bali to see Schapelle, a promise he earnestly desired to keep. Michael's passing was a sad event for the entire Corby family, including Schapelle, who mourned his passing from Kerobokan prison.
Much has occurred since that death. Schapelle's final appeal failed, and her sister Mercedes won a landmark judicial lawsuit against Channel Seven for defamation. Much more has occurred since May 27, 2005 that makes these events more poignant. Through the time that Schapelle Corby became known throughout Australia, several things have remained constant: the strength of the Corbys in what they believe and the strength of the Corbys as a close family.
That strong familial closeness--despite the loss of a father member; evident through the emotional, spiritual, and literal trials--is captured beautifully in this photo.
My best wishes, Ros, Schapelle, Mercedes and family, on this Father's Day.
