A few of my friends thought I was crazy. Certainly many people were impressed by the daunting task I was taking on. But best of all were a handful of people who told me I was doing the right thing.
These people usually had a story to tell of someone in their own family or among their friends who had embarked on a similar adventure.
Following a Christmas-time visit with my family who live abroad, my husband and I and our three children brought home with us an extra visitor - my niece, Jemma, who would be staying with us for the next six months.
