Hi Tatiana,
Another warm Aussie welcome to Susan's family. I'm so pleased you have chosen us as your preferred family. As Ms. OBrien so kindly reminds us each day how special we are, and how enormous we are. I've never lived in a family of over 7,000 people before. Have you?
Well as you look around, you'll see there is a mountain of information, resources and friendships for you here. You can even add to those resources that you've found in Russia, that may help others, like yourself.
Sorry to hear you've lost some friends along the way. As someone hear said, "Those that matter don't care, and those that care don't matter." You'll find in any society that doesn't understand us, you'll lose relationships.
Well I'm looking forward to hearing more about and Russia in time to come, so in the meantime, be safe, well and happy.
Isn't Aunt Devlyn such a silly girl? Fancy trying to teach us Aussies, English. We all speak perfect 'Strine' hear. There's no need for it. English is all too confusing.
Lotsa huggs
Catherine
