Chile - UK
Exactly 1 year ago Thomas , 2 suitcases and my belly, came over to the Uk fallowing a persistent dream; build the family with my ex husband.
We had nothing to start with. Some second hand furniture that his friend Chris gave a way for some money, some CDs, some cloth and ourselves with new baby on the way.
When I left Chile, I left behind the life I had with Thomas, the life I built for us on my own, with the strength of being simply a mum. I left behind a well structure home that I was putting together for 3 years, with colours every where, walls painted yellow and apple green. Orange dinning room and a bed room full of rainbow’s bubbles. The garden I planted and make grow with my own hands, flowers every where and relaxing chairs under the grape tree, eating from my very own pear, peaches or orange trees.
Every thing was there. As well as my TV, my bed, my cloth, Thomas’s toys and all the equipment for a home. Ironically, I bought every thing new several months before I left, because at that time I was not even thinking Phillip and I could possibly come back together.
I remember doing my 2 bags that I was about to bring to the Uk. One for me and one for Thomas, nothing else was allowed on the plane. I had to choose very carefully what I was going to need in the near future, I looked up the rest and it was quite sad just leave it like that.
I was 6 months pregnant when I arrived to the Uk and lucky enough, Phillip got a little house in Milton, nothing else was available at the time. We made that tiny house a home and we started from scratches, so we bought some furniture and toys for Thomas all over again… eventually, we had some things for the baby as well, things that I had in millions back in Chile. - This with out counting all we once had when we were married, but Phillip decided he did not want to keep any thing from that period so he gave it all away.
A year ago exactly we thought and give all this a try. A year ago we embraced the dream of a family… a year of so many changes for everybody, and we still are in that change, in a development, no too sure - as life is, where all this will end. J
