This day last year I realised my dream to stay in the USA was over, it happened so suddenly, I was totally devastated...that feeling of failure after such a fight to stay and I finally had my Visa after such a battle! Breaking the news to all my friends, fellow Rotarians, was the hardest time for me emotionally. Those last weeks in Carlsbad were a mixture of goodbyes, many tears and total sadness for me! I certainly challenged the fairness of the Universe at every level... Since returning to Oz, the months have been a period of mental, emotional struggle and challenge for me. I have had to rebuild my life in Australia, with the help of my sisters, Wendy, Susie & Asri, Josh and Amelia and of course my furry grand children, some precious friends... The sadness will never leave me as I had my perfect life in Carlsbad, but being able to chat to the gals on a regular basis, through skype and facetime and keeping in touch through Facebook has been a real help. As I move in to 2015, I am confident it will be a better year, hope to get my book out shortly - These days more and more, I take each day one at a time and celebrate the little things...My life here, is so very different now, the past is history! I know my future is not what I thought it would be, but I have my health, mentally I am getting stronger and I have an amazing family who support me even in my crazy days... Love you all xxx
