Goodbye


Titus and friends playing soccer on the stairs

The residents of our apartment building are all staff and faculty of the university. It's a tight-knit supportive group of people from places and backgrounds as varied as as their specialties. Luckily for us, there were some talented parents among this group that brought children with them. From the day we arrived these kids, ranging in age from toddlers to teenagers, have helped keep each other entertained. They have been bright lights in the darkness of difficult adjustment.

Today a family left, taking two kids with them. We'll miss them. We'll miss their parents.

And, as an outsider, I can only speculate on how very much the university will miss their mom.
