My J took off for Rio! He's been going there for Christmas or winter breaks for a few years but since it's summer time and this trip is a bit longer, it felt a little different! My boy, 11, headed to a Middle School, a new school - which should be his home for 6-12th, , inching towards that freedom he craves, right back to his mama and back out again..... As they say, give them wings to want to fly and roots to know where home will always be.
He's been taking Portuguese classes via Zoom and his favorite phrase is "Sao um mintinio mai" - let's see what he comes back saying! 11. Loved beyond words.
