After a while of visiting, we came to the new apartment. My son is wonderfully adaptable, and a good communicator, so he was able to handle all the travel and transitions with aplomb. He's exhausted, but wired and jet-lagged. We talked about house rules and how happy we are to have him home. He's a nice boy/man. He's 17, and I love him!
