Dear London Ontario,

You were once a far off and foreign city, but for the last four months we have called you our home away from home on this strange new side of the world. Each time we see you, you reveal another corner of yourself - another intricate detail that can only be seen through the light of your people. And what amazing people you have given to us. Friends that only now we realise how important have been to us in our times of need. When we feel like we can’t fit one more thing into our suitcase, or when we desperately need help getting death couch into the basement. When we’re broken and tired, when we’re sore and ill from longing for familiar sunshine you and the angels of your city are there for us. Please thank these - your people - for everything they have done for us. The laughter, the fun, the embrace of family and friends when everything in the world is unfamiliar. The words to express these things to you and your people too often escape us, so we leave it to you to pass on our thanks and our wishes and all of our love.

Always yours,
Brady

  2. Bub bye! We’ll miss you Aussies! By now, you should be in Kingston as I type this comment. I hope you guys have fun seeing the rest of Canada and the US. Take care and stay in touch. Hopefully I will see you guys in December when I come visit.

  3. Hi Braids, Casey and Trudy
    By the time you get this you will be in San Fran and back with the Trudes - your heads must be spinning by now, and I have no doubt you will not want to see a suitcase for a long time -However the experience will be worth it all and you will have learnt about excess baggage big time!!
    Hope the rest of your trip is safe - and the homecoming crowd are starting to cheer-Im sure you can hear them from there!!!!!
    Love you all
    Take care Mum xxxxxxxxxxx
