Then there is the issue where a family may be split and the kids are torn between who’s turn it is to spend Xmas day with…. or not! Or to think about the “silly season” where “normal” adults strive to simply have a good time partying. For others the whole theme of Xmas might just simply be too much… suicide becomes the “only way out”! Please consider the following facebook entry:

But without a salary, Chris and his son are evicted from their apartment and are forced to sleep on the streets, in homeless shelters and even behind the locked doors of a metro station bathroom.

– Australian of the year tribute
A rear moment when two people receive the award as a joint occasion. Craig Challen and long time cave diving mate Richard Harris, were awarded the honour jointly. Interestingly both men have previously received the Star of Courage – Australia’s second-highest civilian award for bravery – and the medal of the order of Australia.
Back in 2012 Challen also set an Australasian record by diving to 221m in a river cave in New Zealand on an expedition with Harris.
In reference to their award this year Harris, an anaesthetist and a diver from Adelaide, and along with Challen, a champion diver from Wangara, WA, were part of the global team that freed the trapped Wild Boars football team in July 2018. Both men, for 3 days, stayed in the underwater Tham Luang cave system swimming several kilometres in difficult circustances.
Harris, swimming the length of the cave system, performed medical checks on each children, administering anaesthetic as required. Challen then moved the children to safety, working together to ensure all 12 escaped.

– State Awards:
Victorian Father of the Year for 2019.
Congratulations to Chris Youngman, a 36-year-old dad from the small Victorian town of Drouin, about 100km east of Melbourne. He gave up his job and then his house in order to support his family through the sickness of their son… “We were basically doing split-parenting for quite a bit of the time.” We lived for the moment to eventually have him back home.
Lucas finished his intensive chemotherapy to continue treatment from home. Mr Youngman has also recently been able to return to his regular work with the support of his employer.
The young dad dismissed any notion that his sacrifices were extraordinary.
He was simply carrying on his duty as dad and as a husband.
