Well my parents finally arrived from the Uk on the 27/1/2022. The boarders in Australia have been closed for 21/2 years. They even stopped recognising parents as immediate family. When I put that I would see my parents by 31/1/2022 I had no idea how it would happen. I just had faith that it would.
First they announced they would recognise parents as immediate family. Then we had to wait for our State to open the boarders to immediate family. They had to apply for an exemption to travel to Australia.
Finally I held them in my arms on Thursday 27/1/2022. It’s so amazing to be able to hold them and have them here with me. My heart is filled with joy. I’m cherishing every moment.
