alternately delighted for him and sad for me. Thank heavens for Zoom! (Really old timers will remember that he once participated in a photo contest here when he was 9.)
We got in one last beach trip. He always did love this rock.

I hope he will have a grand time in the Netherlands, and that you will discover how much satisfaction in your own life that you'll have during this time
Bon Voyage to you both!

Wishing the best for you and your son!
