Wisdom

My relationship with Hugh developed over the years. Eventually my future Father in Law decided to have a chat with me.     “Do you honestly love Hugh?”, he asked.    I was a flighty young 19 year old and mumbled, “Yes, I suppose I do”.     “Well, one day Hugh will wish to return to live in his homeland.    He will hear the call of the Cook Islands and the Pacific.    Are you prepared to leave your Mother, your family and your home to live on a tiny island, a dot in the Pacific Ocean?”    He was a man of great wisdom.  Many years later those questions were answered when we decided move from New Zealand and make our home in Rarotonga.
