The 7th chapter -> Father and son

" And, of course, Alex understood only to well! "

With this sentence, the author will tell us that Alex can understand why Tom left the family and went to Australia. If Alex would be Tom maybe he had react just like him in the situation, because he had never thought that he would miss his friends and his mother in Enland, when he is in Australia.

My diary entry " written by Tom"

---------------------------------------

Friday, 8 February

Dear diary,

now Alex and I were for four days on the Whitsunday Island. Today I told Alex why I left the family. At first I was very nervous and then really glad about his reaction. And now I am so happy that my son is here in Australia.

Alex is a very clever boy and he looks a little bit like his mum. But when I see him he reminds me so often when I was a young boy.

Your Tom
