We said goodbye again to Owen as he returned to the USA for his final semester at Northern Michigan University. It was so nice to have him back with us for a few weeks and we are looking forward to attending his graduation ceremony in May. Nadia and I went shopping in the morning and as dutiful parents, stuffed his suitcase with stuff we thought he would need. He spent the night in Istanbul and will fly to Chicago this morning. He made the Dean’s List for the Fall Semester and wish him luck to finish is Bachelor’s degree strongly. He is considering his post-graduation life options. All of it is exciting at that age. Nadia and I of course were heartbroken to see him walk through immigration and to his gate. Everytime he comes back, he is a bit more independent, which is what he is supposed to be. Nadia and I are both trying to let go and allow him to forge his own path in life.
A highlight for me was walking with my middle son Oliver and taking our dog Obi out for a walk. Obi loves running around the school and it was cool to watch Oliver kick the soccer ball around again, like old times. We have two more weeks with him because St. Norbert College doesn’t start again until the last week in January. I am sharing a few more photos from our photoshoot with Alex on Friday.
Today is our last day of Winter Break and Nadia, Ocean and I are gearing up for a busy second semester of school.
