PictureThe Squad 2015
Two hours ago we dropped off Rasmus at the Portland airport. There were hugs and barks, fist pumps, tears, and quiet words. We’ve had a special year… together. 

Now, Bailey is asleep under my office chair as I write this final blog entry. A light rain falls and the gray afternoon sky 
is unwelcoming. When we arrived home a message from Rasmus awaited us on Facebook: “Miss you guys.” Once again, that gnawing pain deep in the gut. 

In a few days there will be two empty beds up on the second floor. The boys will be with family and hometown friends, their other lives returned… with one happy difference: Now, Rasmus and Felix have two families, two sets of friends, two hometowns, two homes... and in a real way, two countries. 

We wish them well and send our love, always.

Wonderful story... and yes, Rich, "...once again, that gnawing pain deep in the gut". But, in fact, we have been all very lucky guys - Rasmus, Rich, Felix, Connie, Ben and the boys families in Europe. Fortune was kind to us, making that Rich, Rasmus and Felix matched so well. As Humphrey Bogart says at the end of "Casablanca": "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Indeed, it is...

What a remarkable year that made our family so much bigger and the world smaller.
Here, It has been a very quiet year, and we never thought we would miss the noise that much.
Thank you Rich, Connie and Ben!
See you in Denmark
With love from
Annette and Tage
