Over 50 years ago

Our eldest son. Now, after those years, he has arrived back in NZ after 30 years after leaving. With his family of Masami, and son (17) James, and daughter (14) Zoe. Safely and now in 14 days of isolation in Wellington in a very nice hotel. One wonders how one would be optimistic after 14 days in 2 rooms.
I think its going to be a good experience.
Thankful for :
Facetime - when he arrived in NZ, when they arrived in Wellington,
Lovely photo and so lovely to have him back.🥰
New adventures for all his family too. I wonder where he has been living since he went away.

So good he’s come home maggie! You will feel happier & they are in a far safer place at the moment than Japan isolating will not be easy but good it’s not summer!

A lovely memory Im sure you all well be ready to make new memories once out of isolation

That's great news for you- safe and sound in NZ. I hope that 14 day stay in the hotel goes quickly for them. Teens are not crazy about being cooped up when they have to be. Sweet memory shot!
