The kids in my life

On this long journey, contact with friends and family gives me enormous support. Nothing can replace direct contact, but with phone calls, videos and messages, the distance I feel is shortened enormously, no matter where I am.

I love spending time with them because they have an unbiased curiosity about things, they are much less judgmental. They try, marvel, learn and are happy about the smallest things that have become part of everyday life for many adults.
They give me the opportunity to engage in a change of perspective as well.
