The last goodbye
You are an inspiration Paula. I love you♡
末期癌を受け入れ静かに死を迎えようとしている大好きなポーラ。私が遠い日本でがんばっていることを誰よりも喜んでくれている恩師にお別れをしに行きました。
世界一心優しく、聡明で愛溢れる彼女は、モルヒネで痛みを抑えながらも毎日その瞬間を思いっきり生きていて、「サラ！もう会えなくて私が死んでも天からずっと見守っているから大丈夫よ。」と笑顔で言う。
矢も盾もたまらず祈る気持ちで飛行機に乗りました。ポーラが私にくれた愛と希望は何にも代えがたいもの。ベッドで私の顔を見るとまさかという驚き。それから嬉し涙で顔をクシャクシャにして抱きしめてくれました。
堰を切ったようにあんなに私をはげましてくれたあなたを永遠に心に刻みます。あなたの存在は私を始め、あなたが触れ合った全ての人々にとってインスピレーションです。あなたの笑顔、優しい眼差しを一生忘れない。綺麗なご自宅で作ってくれた美味しいオージーご飯、国立公園でのお散歩とクッカバラとの出会い、全て忘れない。
ありがとうポーラ。愛してます。このご縁に感謝しきれません。最後はお互い悲しい涙を流したけど、いつでもポーラは側にいて、心の中に生き続けてるよね。
これからも誇りに思えるように活動頑張るね
My dear teacher Paula was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. The minute I found out, I knew I had to visit her straight away. Paula was concerned about my work (yes she still emails and facebooks at 92!), but my gut and heart told me I had to go now.
Returning for a day and a half in my hometown Sydney, I was able to be reunited with this incredible woman. Words fail me to describe Paula, but it is no understatement that she is perhaps the most kindest, loving soul with a tremendous amount of insight and zest for life that I have ever met. Not only did she teach me the fundamentals of bel canto, she was my Aussie mother, guardian, friend, who was always so supportive and positive. Her incredible journey has definitely made an impact on my outlook to life - the way she continues to savour every single moment with no fear of the finality of death (in this life), her poise, beauty and positivity that never ceases to radiate. She is a living angel, loved by all she has touched. How we are all inspired by Paula.
She always has something to say and NEVER forgets anything or misses a beat. When I walked into her hospital bedroom, that was the first time I think she was lost for words.
We talked, we embraced, we cried mostly happy tears.
I’ll remember our walks through Lane Cove park, the kookaburras we met. I know our final tears were tinged with sadness, but I do know that you will forever be with me. Thank you for your love and guidance. I hope I’ll continue to make you proud. I love you Paula

Forever yours, Sarah💐
