This weekend I have been really say as a few of my closest family members have immigrated to New Zealand. They have been wanting to go for a long while now, but were struggling to get their papers sorted.
My cousin got a job where he will be earning a lot more there than what he could ever earn here being a white male. He would of left his kids here for a few weeks if he was the only one able to get his visa ready. One of the struggles that he now faces is the Christmas season as he will not get payed till next year.
We met up with the family at the boarding gates where the security guard took one look at this huge family and said only those leaving my enter. We sat around and chatted and played with the kids before they left.
The house seems so empty without them these past few days. There used to be 14 people in the house before they left and the noise was so nice and homey, now things are quiet too quiet.
I wish them all the best of wishes and luck with their new adventure.
