In the cafeteria with his friend Anton and girlfriend Nicole

We are often so busy that we don’t take time to recognize the simple moments in life that give us great pleasure. On Tuesday during my daily work leading the school, I ran into my son Oliver four times. He is in his final year of high school and I am savoring time with him. It is such a treat to get these glimpses into his school day that parents in most professions never get to see. I love knowing that my wife and children are always with me at school.

Ocean discussing treatment with the eye doctor

Yesterday I received a phone call from Nadia saying that Ocean injured her eye in design class. My first thought was she was cutting something with a power tool and was not wearing safety goggles which really injured her eye. Thankfully, it was only that she got a piece of sawdust caught in her eye while carrying wood planks. As a precautionary measure, I took her to an eye doctor downtown, accompanied by a nurse from our clinic. It was wonderful to comfort her and spend time with her for a couple of hours. The doctor turned her eyelid up and removed the debris and she is fine with 100% vision.
