Hopefully the question wasn't too much of an intrusion. I don't want to pry. You have thought it out well. It makes sense that you're close to your dad. I would be too. And I hadn't even thought about the language barrier. I talk with so many people from so many places that sometimes it's easy to forget that not everyone speaks English.
I'd be curious to hear the story of how your family got so spread out. Again, don't want to pry though.
Good for you for making the effort to stay in touch. It's so easy nowadays to lose touch, and family is one of the main things that we should hold onto.
Wasn’t prying at all mate, I only speak English and so coming to Finland to live won’t work so well. Speaking the language is probably going to become less of an issue as time goes by as most of the younger generation speak English here but to do what I do speaking the language would be necessary.
We just got spread out as time went by as work and relationships tended to take each of us in different directions. I am the only one who stayed in Adelaide where we were all born.
