COMING HOME IS SOMETIMES HARDER THAN LEAVING : our heroine, the prodigal daughter, the wandering highlander islander girl, having run the world over - in 2005 returned to Papua New Guinea Proper for the first time - there she lived a little and loved a little too - in 2007 she landed Closer To Melbourne Than Madang and awoke in 2008 "The Year of Alex" - a year to Reclaim her BestSelf to be a GoodGirl to be Better to be Kinder to HurtHerself Less - by clasping her heart and veering hard left
Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and then for money. MOLIERE

I'm glad to hear (read) that all is well. I know what it is to be holding your breath waiting for it all to be "okay" again. Well maybe some things will never be perfect but thank goodness your sister is alive and well. We count every blessing!
Thanks for such a great blog...

Wow. That is so sweet - thankyou! yes, we're all breathing a little easier in PNG ... although BabySister was NOT very impressed and reckons MyMama is nuts ... she has to remember though that MyMama had a massive scare earlier this year when I was in SE Asia and left an area in Malaysia just 2 days before the Tsunami demolished it - all because I had a yearning burning to fly to Sydney ASAP and skip xmas in the tropics ... allez allez ... and they didn't hear from me until a few days later as I was bush-la. Cheers, Ricebag.
