Maki and Synnove arrived today.
While I was waiting for them at International Arrivals, I thought about how many times over the years I’d been at an airport with his dad, either dropping Maki off or picking him up. I thought about how he’d visited America for the first time 8 years ago…his dad pulling him atop a rolling suitcase. And then when I saw him, I thought: “Gosh, he has grown this summer!” And how wonderful that he is arriving with his smiling mother, when his dad can’t be here. How much our family dynamic has already changed in positive and unexpected ways since May. Life is strange and heartbreaking and beautiful.
Welcome back, Maki. We’ve missed you.
