My husband is in love.

Since we stepped onto the soil of Czech Republic, my husband has been permanently in high mood. He is unusually sentimental and emotional. That is not normal to him. He is quite rational and realistic so he can control his feelings pretty well but not at the moment. Everything seems to be so special to him that he can't walk away without appreciation. Even small very ordinary plant (to me) makes him surprised and holds his next step. He can't stop loving everything around him. He seems to be in a very happy dream that he doesn't want to be awaken up from.

We were here about 2 years ago so it must have been a quite long wait for him to be back home as he has all his family, relatives and friends in Czech. Last twelve and half years, we have spent most time in Australia as Australian citizens but each time we visit our mother lands, we cannot resist being sentimental and emotional just like who are in love. 

Suddenly, all foods are simply the best and all cities are the most beautiful in the world. Any small development can be the most proud things to see and any childhood memories are the most memorable. Everything around us are so precious that we can't help wishing for that the time is moving slowly. Without any doubt, we are glad that we have created a new nest and thankful of what we have in Australia, but home is always home and our hearts cannot deny the truth.

He simply loves being in Czech and I am enjoying seeing his emotional changes. He loves talking with his mother till very late night. I don't know what they can talk about that long but as long as he can release his homesick, I feel fine to let him do whatever he wants to do here. Visiting relatives and friends can be one of his favourite things to do here. Two years of gab does not look like existing between them. Like all met each other yesterday, they look very comfortable to get into their normal, deep and strong relationship as before, as always...

I know that this special feeling cannot be fully understood by some people who don't have any experience in living in another country. The easiest way to understand would be thinking about our mothers. The permanent warmth and comfort from mum is what we are feeling at the moment.

If someone ask me why we chose to live in another country when we miss our birth countries this much, I am not sure what can be the best answer. Choices are mostly made based on circumstances and it was the best choice for us to make at the point of life and I still think that it was appropriate decision. The life decision created two homes and now we appreciate more our mother countries where our nature come from, which we did not acknowledge before. The good news for us is that we have an option to stay in the both countries with comfortable feeling. 

Home is always home. Soon, we will leave his home, Czech Republic so every single day is precious for him. We are now heading to near his birth town to see his 84 year old grandmother by train and he is comfortably reading Czech newspaper. He looks very relaxed and happy. What else would he need more? 

Nothing is permanent but his love in Czech seems to be quite solid. Until goodbye to Czech, I will enjoy looking at a man who is in love.
