Labour of Love
After moving continents and finding myself in Canada it was a bit of a lonely existence considering that my family was all in Australia. It all started when Zach was a baby; actually to be honest we have to go back even further than that to when I first arrived here. Strangely my relationship with my family in Australia has always been a little tenuous, and moving across the globe did little to change that dynamic. However, given that I had instigated such a drastic move its hard to feel sorry for me or my situation, after all if I wanted to visit them I know where they live...right? Somehow this time of year always make me think of home and the hot, Australian summer just getting underway a little more than normal. Strangely its more than that though, it’s a deep feeling of longing to be amongst my family, although now it would only be with my brothers, sister, nieces and nephews because without mum or dad I feel a little rudderless around this time of year...
