Before everything changed

Before Everything Changed

I used to think home was permanent.

A house, a street, a town in Australia where mornings smelled like toast and evenings felt safe enough to ignore the world outside. But when war crept closer to our quiet life, everything we believed in started to disappear piece by piece.

We didn't leave because we wanted to. We left because staying meant losing everything all at once.

This is the story of a family forced to say goodbye to the only life they've ever known - and what it really costs to start over when nothing feels like home anymore.

Because sometimes survival isn't about escaping danger... it's about holding onto each other when everything else is gone.
