From this time on, how many times will you see your family?
When I was planning my trip to the US one of my worries was that something might happen to my family, particularly my grandparents in the meantime. Ofcourse, I would've flown back had anything happened but what if I couldn't get back in time?
And all those times that I'd tossed up whether or not visit my family or do something that was far more exciting at the time or at least not as gruelling.
So as I was heading back to Melbourne for the first time in about six months I wondered how many times I would actually see my family before the inevitable and as I estimated it amounted to a startingly low number.
If I continued my current trend ( being in Townsville ) it would be about twice per year and acouple times during each visit. So over the next 20 years that would be only 80 times.
Not the luxury of time I'd once imagined...
