Hi All, is there anyone out there that has been in my position ?
After living in Oz for 37 years I returned to the U.K. I couldn't wait to come home and life has been fantastic here in the U.K. for me. My 2 children
now aged 11 and 22 have also been living here with me and are both thriving. I never took citizenship when in Oz. I left with only my Permanent
Residency status. If I don't return by June 3rd it will expire. It has never worried me ...... until now !! I don't know why but suddenly I am plagued
with doubt. I have been hit with the fear that my kids might return and I am not going to be able to live in Oz again. I have suddenly realised that
I am more Australian than I thought ! I NEVER thought I would feel this way and I cant really explain why I am suddenly longing for the smell of
Eucalyptus trees, gum trees, Cath & Kim, channel 9 news, twisties, grilled flake, dim sims, wide open space, Magpies swooping and their unique
warble, big wide houses and streets etc. I am missing the people I grew up with, worked with and have known for so long. I know I can return for
holidays, so why I am I waking up in the night panicking ?? Is it just the permanence of it all ?? Or some thing else .....? :shocked::confused:
