We're very very lucky

This isn't something new to me, to us. It's something that we know implicitly but don't spend a lot of time saying explicitly. Perhaps it's my fever addled brain that's doing this but most likely not.

We're lucky to have to choose between two fantastic alternatives, more than that we're so incredibly lucky that our friends and families still love us and support us even when we make a choice that they'd rather we hadn't made.

We miss you all desperately the sound of your voices, the feel of your presence, the comfort and the hope that you have provided over time. And we know that you miss us too, that makes the choice to stay in Europe a bit longer hard, very very hard.

But, for now we've decided, for better or for worse as they say, to spend a bit more time here.

If you're ever passing by we'd love for you to stop in. Time really does fly, so far from you in Berlin. We miss you most acutely, early mornings and late nights. We really wish we'd see you,
without such long flights.
