We ran Kelly and Christian to the airport in Portland this morning so they could head back to Baltimore and Boston to return to work on Monday. Their visit this holiday season was a category difference than those in the past. They have been adults making their own way in every sense since they left home to go to graduate school six and a half years ago. They have been adults, making their own decisions for years now, but it just seemed more real this time that they really are grown and gone. We got a little melancholy about that, but also there was a gratifying satisfaction. This is the way it should be. We are grateful for opportunities for them to be here that probably would not have happened if it had not been for the pandemic.
