Thx! I left to find a job, originally in UK, in 1996. I was a programmer originally. Then I met my (French-in-the-US) husband on IRC, got married, and also moved to the US. Been there since 2001. Here I became a tech journalist, and then an artist (mostly collage art, where I had a very successful career in the 2010s – paintings/illustration are new to me).
The reason to come back I detailed in another reply here.
Thanks for sharing your story! And sorry about your dad, being away from family is the main reason why I’d like to stay close by. It’s bittersweet but I’m happy you’re getting closer to your mom 😊 I hope your husband still has family in France, he will be closer as well
Very nice! What made you leave and what made you go back?

He does, yes! We should be in France 1-2 times a year for sure!
