Tuesday

Today after a marathon drive from Florida my fiancé's son finally arrived in New York.

The funny thing was that we were at home waiting for their call when we found out that he was almost at exit 13 of the New Jersey Turnpike. From there he had to drive through Staten Island, the Verrazano Bridge and the Belt Parkway to Manhattan Beach. Not a short drive and it was rush hour.

So, we figured we have plenty of time to get to Manhattan Beach from our place. We didn't count on that we would get caught in rush hour traffic, too. Anyway we were half way there when he called saying that he was there at the address already. That was very funny.

We finally got there and had a very pleasant and emotional reunion. This guy used to live in New York so this was not a strange world for him. He remembered the places, he remembered the apartment. It was more like a homecoming.

We honestly hope that his job interview(s) go well and he will decide to move back to the Big Apple. It would be nice to have the majority of the family in one place.

As far as I am concerned I never had a large family and being surrounded by one does sound strangely inviting. The sad thing is that I am getting this gift at this late stage of my life.

But hey, que sera sera!
