Is there such a thing as a perfect family? Moving to Aus is something we wanted to do - had a comfortable life in the UK but came to a point in our lives (nearing 40), that if we were going to do something different it had to be then. My dad is now on his own in the UK and I thought long and hard about leaving him - having visited my Aus previously, my dad knew what the country was like and felt it was an opportunity we should take (he also regreted not migrating as my mum wouldn't leave her family). I feel we're here now because my dad didn't lay a guilt trip on us - having visited us last year he tells us we've made a good choice. So a big THANK YOU to my dad.
