My Dearest Girl's Well, it's another year beginning and all manner of infinite possibilities await each of us. I always find myself very reflective at the beginning of a new year, I wonder... What will the next 365 days brings, what new adventures, what changes, what hardships, or heartaches. I like being the optimist and thinking only of the good things, but realty inevitably brings a measure of the unknown. I hope that before this year is over we'll be back home and these conversations can be at one of our houses, over endless cups of coffee, tea, or our favorite red wine! Right now I know that the next 6-9 months here in Oz will be filled with planning, hard work and the sadness of saying good-bye to those we love here. CT and I always knew that one of us would have to make a sacrifice regardless of where we lived. It would always mean that one of us would be away from home & family. Although I've already made that sacrifice for the last 5 an a half years, my heart still aches for him & the children. It's never easy leaving those you love, but I know that it's just temporary and that there will be many opportunities for us to all be together. So, My Love's, I begin this year with hope, hope for a return to those I hold dear, hope for the start of something wonderful and new. I hope that the coming year bring both of you much joy and happiness. I love you both so much and look forward to being together again soon. Take care of yourselves. All My Love, TOWFL
