He did return to Ireland. he went to go to university. He enjoyed meeting new people the most. He least liked being away from his family. It gave my dad career opportunities that Ireland wouldn't be able to give.

Moving to a completely different country was not easy for them. They had to adjust to a new climate, different foods, and a lifestyle very different from what they were used to. Despite the challenges, they worked hard to settle and build a stable life.

they were born and raised in Pakistan, so I]they have always known it as there home.
