Is it The Last Change?

7:am Kiev Ukraine. We wake up, the war has begun! 9:am we are in the car heading to the border line. Me dad, mom and Shedy, our dog. Lviv 3 hours at the border line was expected. Instead, 3 full days. Krakow and a week of rest in the town of Zelona Gora. Summer in Germany 2023. Munchen Maria Propzt, immigrant camp. And home at least. Garmisch Partenkirchen was it the last change? Then we come into 2024, I turn 11 and Shedy passes away. R.I.P. But everything keeps changing. That was not the last change! My mom goes to Canada. 4 months without her. And then in January we leave Germany. The homes that we had before were only temporary. The day has come to go to Canada! 1 day in the air. Paris, Vancouver and at last, Winnipeg. That was my destination. But, was that THE LAST CHANGE?
