I’ve been communicating with my family via all types of technology, FaceTime/ FB video calls, WhatsApp, iMessaging, and all things tech since I moved to Australia. When the pandemic hit, it was really hard for me not to have my family visit me or see the arrival of my little boy.
Especially during the birth of my son because my mom was planning to be there for that special moment.
It took 2 yrs for Australia to finally open their borders and open international travelling, once we heard of the opportunity, we took it as a green light to prepare to visit my family for the first time in the USA.
Discussing with my husband, I remember in our conversation, that all I wanted to do was just spend time with my family, my husband’s questions were, “is there anything you would like to see while you’re there?” I didn’t mind travelling within the USA. All I could think of was just being able to sit and just hang out with my mom, brother & sisters even if it meant just watching a movie at home/doing my nails with my sisters or playing Mario kart with my brother & his kids.
