Hi Lou - just caught up on all your journaling. Just want you to know that I am thinking of you.
The opportunity in the UK sounds amazing. And it is quite flattering that you were sought out for it. I wonder what you will do here? I can see the confliction given that your children and H are in NZ. Flights in and out of NZ are long and very costly so I understand it is not a decision to be taken lightly.
I too feel I had the rug pulled out from under me in regards to Cali's situation. It is a reminder that we must keep focusing on ourselves.
