@trudeehunter I cant believe I just saw your comment! Sorry for the late reply and thank you for the warm words :) I really appreciate it. I'm sure it wasn't easy to relocate especially with teenagers. The younger they are, I believe, the easier it is to make such a big transition. So at least were making this decision at an early stage for them. And yes, knowing that they will get sooo much love and those family hugs and kisses makes it easier for me.
This time we had here in Australia was so precious for us as a family- every word you said is true - it strengthened our relationship and definitely encouraged personal growth in ALL of us! The goodbyes are always hard for me but that's how it is with these decisions... Im waiting to get to cooking and baking more - right now I'm literally in a home with a sofa and 2 bedroom sets! we hear our echo in the house - thanks to good old Gumtree!! :))
Thanks again for your encouragement. As always, I enjoy every comment of yours dear @trudeehunter!
