Living on the other side of the world from my family
and friends can be tough. And I have regularly felt very homesick
these last months, missing those I left behind…

But,… this month has something special in store.
My little sis is hopping over for a working holiday down under,
and I can’t wait to see her again!

We take each other’s presence for granted.
We all live such busy lives… ya-da, ya-da.
But when someone you care about is no longer just a drive away,
but a 24-hour, expensive flight; you suddenly feel that great distance,
and realize how wonderful it is to have your family “around”.
