After I published my post of moving teens yesterday, I got a fast and wise comment. It gave me a rude awakening, reminding me of the fact that my feelings contra my children’s development is secondary.

My mum informed me that the 400 km to Norrköping, is not, by far, as far away as the US.

When I, back in 1990, told her that I wanted to go away for a year, there were no hesitation. Of course I should.

Just as Sam and his brother should go, wherever their hearts desire to.

Thanks mum! Thank you for bringing me back to reality.
