Finding Belgium and More

Today, David has left Belgium to go back to US. He stayed since the beginning of June for 2 months. Before I left US, he helped me organize our move as soon as he finished his freshman year. When he was here, he helped us settle in Belgium as a family.

When he was here, we feel like we are whole again as a family. He took care of Milo when we went to work, walked him every day. You wouldn’t believe that small acts really bring us so much easy in our lives. Without David, I couldn’t have imagined how I would have gone through these 2 months.

It was stressful from time to time, and sometime down to scary. I had my share of sleepless nights when I woke up wondering what we were thinking to make this risky decision. We managed through this for 2 months and we are still learning to find our spaces at work and in our daily lives in Belgium.

His independence will bound to come regardless whether we are in US or in Europe. It is not logical why I am more sad now than when we were dropping him off for the first day in college..

But who says the emotion would be logical and even will ever make sense? I am feeling emotional that my son has his own life and we should accept we are making our own chapter for our lives at this point. And somehow we will learn together as a family.

Seeing David growing up such a fine young man is truly a joy and our pride. Thank you for everything, David and we love you.
