Lucky To Be Here

All along life’s road, from the earliest days to the last, we accumulate experiences and absorb family stories, history, and culture. We become the sum of these and are forever a work in progress, unfinished to the end.

Peter Gaspar’s rich, warm family memoir was inspired by regret that his parents were not able to pass on their own memories. “We are the poorer for it.”

Written for his children, Tim and Michaela, and his grandchildren, these moving chapters cover Peter’s parents, his life in Bratislava from 1937–1949, leaving Europe, and establishing a fulfilling life in Australia.

Peter wanted this memoir to be built upon, so the history of the family will continue.
