Life in Melbourne is good....we have been unpacking 380 boxes that have finally arrived. The apartment is finally taking shape. Fortunately most of these items have arrived in one piece, except for some few damaged items.
A great lesson in life is that 'material' items really don't matter that much. We now have an apartment full of 'material' pieces, these are all nice belongings and it is good to see these again after nearly 5 months.
But, in the end the greatest joy we have is that in Melbourne our contact with our kids through proximity and their visits has been the most rewarding part of being back in Australia. Mum is undergoing some treatments for a Tumor in her bladder, while that is not great news, however she is not in any discomfort.
We saw Mum at Easter in Sydney and when I tell her that we now live in Melbourne, I can sense her anxiety levels are much lower. While she has dementia and probably at best a 5 minute memory, in the past she remembers that I am living overseas somewhere and that I'm sure makes her more uneasy.
It is great to be home - Life is indeed very good !
