Tonight we watched ‘when a city falls’, a documentary on the Christchurch earthquakes.

It was heart wrenching in parts, encouraging for the future in others.

The way people bandied together with family, friends and strangers was inspiring,

But I came away feeling a little odd.

A long way from ‘home’.

But now with my own small family right here

I’m not even sure what ‘home’ means at the moment.

But I know I gave this little man

An extra long cuddle tonight…

And I’ll call my parents tomorrow.

It’s been 5 years since I left NZ

It’s amazing what changes in that time.
