They packed their bags and flew across the ditch

AND THE FLOWERS GREW MORE PEACEFULLY :)
It's incredible how life turns out. Just under 6 years ago, I was living on Ashbourne with only a moments walk to primary school. My cousin Sonny had been rushed to hospital because of a cochlea operation gone wrong. Later on I found out that he was also diagnosed positive with the meningcocal disease. Then as events turned, my uncle and aunty, of whom I was very close had split and my uncle came to settle in Australia. But now they're back together after some sort of drama, the tragic and very sorrowful death of Sonny, and love pledges that they've made, hopefully for a lifetime. The three kids to your left are their lovely children. 6 years ago we were having family parties off Harmel Road and now we live in the greater Dandenong area. It is incredible how life turns out, and remarkable how it's for the better.

My family actually wanted to move here in the year 2000, when I was the ripe little age of 13. I can't remember whether I obliged or feared the change, but we didn't end up going and moved further done the Glendene Area to Harmel Road instead. But I think this change is better for them. In my opinion, they belong here and have truly found home... I think I've found home too. For the first time in my life, I haven't been feeling unsettled.

I spend lots of time in the park by my house. Despite the flies swarming around, biting my skin and harassing my peace...it actually does prove to be a gentle, quiet place of solace...except for when the dogs are barking madly from the neighbours house.
