Living on the other side of the world hasn't been that hardThe idea that I would get homesick hasn't really hit, there was a few moments when I heard about the worst floods in 100 years, back in Melbourne, Australia (My wonderful home) and saw pictures and that brought back memories, but no really painful missing thoughts

Maybe it’s been because life has been great here, or the fact that I haven't heard much from home, but even thought its great in Canada, Australia is my home and somewhere I will probably end up (God permitting)

The funny thing is that I was cleaning my room, (we have a Housing commission inspection, don't ask) and I found a photo of my rents they sent me from new years It's them on a love swing seat thing, and I miss them, like a lot. It now sits on the bottom of the bunk above me.

I love my parents, can I say. And it breaks my heart to hear people who don't, I work with so many kids that have multiple parents, or don't even know them, and it does hurt, and I thank God so much that he blessed me, but at the same it instills me that I have to be the greatest Father/Husband I can be.

I guess I probably don't tell my Mum (Australian spelling) and Dad how much I do love them. I probably have told them I love them, more in the last 7 months on the phone than I have in the past 5 years, but I do. And well there's little chance that they will be reading this, as they have no technological bones in their bodies (I arranged for the VCR, DVD, computers and even the microwave for our house, and yes my rents have only had a microwave for like 3 years)

But in all things they have been perfect, I couldn't ask for better parents, they love me, and I them,

I can't thank God enough, I've been way too lucky
