They were divorced after being together for about six years, reconciled, and lived together for another almost twenty-four years. He died three and a half years later, on Carrie Moon’s birthday, the 01st of January.
They have two adult sons and no grandchildren. Carrie Moon resides in Cape Town South Africa and started writing poetry seriously in 2010 when facing an open-heart surgery. She taught in Cape Town and Kwa-Zulu Natal, tutored learners up to matric level and even taught English as a foreign language. She went on early retirement to have her surgery, but was called back into teaching full time for a further six years and later four months. She is now recently retired, for the third time.
Her writer’s name, Carrie Moon, has a love story behind it – when she and her husband Gavin met, because she had such large hazel- green eyes, he would affectionately refer to her as “Carrie with the full moon eyes”, “therefore it just seemed such a fitting name for my poetic persona”.ver menos
