Risky business

PROMPT November 16th

Write about the biggest risk you ever took. What was the result?

I’ve written about this prompt before. Still the answer is the same. The biggest risk we took as a little family was to leave everything we knew behind and go to a place where we knew absolutely no one. 1972, my husband, three year old daughter and myself sold our home, two businesses, everything we owned and left our families in England and flew to Australia. No direct flights in those days. It took 2 days of flying to get to Perth in the middle of a very cold rainy night.
To say I was scared and homesick is the least of it. My daughter was missing home, her grandparents whom used to live next door and I thought we’d made the worst decision of our lives.
It worked out fine!
