COMMENT On Monday, my daughter posted on her Facebook: ‘Feeling a little sad for my girl... she just told me she doesn't like celebrating Grandparents’ Day at school and wishes she had grandparents to watch her perform in the band on Thursday. I guess this is one of the few negatives about migration.’

My wife Kim and I were feeling more than a little sad as it was to be our eight-year-old grand-daughter’s big day to show off to her grandparents and we couldn’t be there.
