I hope someday my kids will be able to say what you've just said.

It's so sad that Africa is still in such turmoil - I hope there is a better future for your homeland.

BTW, can I ask why you chose to bring your family to Australia? Did you at least have some friends or family here?
Thanks for your compassion.
Actually, we had no friends or family here - we chose Australia because it's climate is similar to South Africa's, it has a stable economy, good public schools, is child-friendly and has a good social welfare system and is relatively safe. I had never been to visit here before I arrived to stay - with two tiny kids on my hip! And a year after we got here, Bali happened, and we thought we'd made a mistake - nowhere is safe.
Now we have friends and a great life here, and we are so grateful to be here. But it saddens me more than I can say that our decision was unequivocally the right one. Africa deserves so much better.

You're right - nowhere is completely safe, but I hope Australia will always be a haven and a home for you and your family... and for all of us.
My very first "serious" boyfriend whom I remained close to for years was murdered with his wife in Manila in front of their 5 year old son....it was a tragedy and a terrible shock...I empathise with you...x Miss Nomer
