I never thought I would say this, but we are going back. We are going home.
We prepared for so many years before we left, and all we wanted was out. And now, all we want is to go back.
It has been just over two years since my mother passed away. And in those two years, the urge to return has just grown stronger and stronger. To rebuild those few family connections we have left. To wallow again in a culture we fully understand. To stand under the African sun.
So, here we are, preparing for yet another international move. The face of our family looks very different to when we left South Africa 10 years ago.
When we left, we were four in the house. Our offspring has, in this time, grown up into a fully formed adult human who is about to get married, in Norway. Husband’s father is no longer with us. And we are returning with four feline boys.
