This image was taken almost two years ago as Australia’s former Governor General Dame Quentin Bryce gave my baby boy Keaton one of his first cuddles at a charity lunch.

I was anxious to take such a young bub along but one of my dearest, gorgeous girlfriends decided the G.G was the type who would love a snuggle.

He started crying during her speech, standard. What did the G.G do? She stopped talking and told the crowd, “I have told the mother of that baby she is the only one who can hear her baby cry at this moment.”

Her trademark class and grace shone that day. For the record, she loved the premise behind Engaging Women.
