In Reply to: memories posted by steph on Thursday, 5. February 2009 at 22:48 Bali Time:
the swans also and everytime I see a black swan I think of Perth, my parents also divorced when I was very young and we moved to Sydney with my father and mum stayed in WA. We spent holidays with Mum and around 28 years ago she took us to Bali for the very first time and now my heart is always in Bali. I am still lucky enough to have my parents with me but back then there was always a tinge of sadness when leaving Bali because I was leaving my happy place and because it would be months before I saw my mother again. We used to fly from Sydney and have to stop at Melbourne and Adelaide before decending in Perth and then flying to Bali. I am lucky enough to have married someone who loves Bali as much as I do and my boys 15 & 13 have the same passion as us (they still cry whenever we leave Bali). Steph I am so sorry for your loss but you'll know your father is with you while your there...
