We decided to stay in Dublin years ago, so the kids could go all the way through school here. That type of environmental stability is important for Michael in particular. However, we can only control what we do, and the fact that others will flow in and out of their lives is beyond our control. Both boys are having friends leave right now. Michael's best friend is preparing to move (their house sold in 1 week!), and Alex is having several pals depart.
With time as a lens, we expect it to have the greatest impact on Michael, because confidants are less common for him. However, it is Alex, who picks up a friend at the drop of the hat, who has been getting emotional and having the harder time now.

Here are the postcards that were sent to Michael and Alex's grandparents and greatgrandparents via Cardstore.com. I think of them as a mixture of public relations and propaganda. Read enough of their lives, and you can consider yourself a virtual grandparent/aunt/uncle. There are worse things.
