Ok, I've had my say and now, inadequate as an account from me is likely to be, I would like to give airtime to the other side of the story - the good side (as I understand it) because for every mistake there must be a learning and an appreciation.
It begins and ends with my husband. He has only ever wanted my happiness and has supported everything I tried, failed and re-tried to do here to achieve that. I cannot and do not for one minute devalue what he has done. Recently we did finally discuss and agreed on the difference between needs and wants and how very subjective those things are. I will forever be thankful for what he is doing to enable a return to the mothership as a collective.
I am proud and honoured that my daughter is not a stranger to her grandparents; that they have helped shape who she is and will grow up to be, playing as they did, two of the lead roles in her most formative years. This is not something she will ever make up for with her equivalent family in Madrid - but I do not regret this. In life there are often difficult choices. This was one of mine. Spending potentially the rest of our lives out of Canada is my husband's and for this it will take many reincarnations before my gratitude outweights the need to atone.

Your husband sounds like a very special man to put your happiness above all else. I wish you all the best in your future as you journey home. Happy New Year!
Yes he is, bless him. Thanks I will tell him - it will make his day and give him something to berate me with all month!
