What a Ride

I agree with Kate, we too are feeling quite relaxed knowing you are relaxing in the sun, getting a chance to recover, recuperate and unwind after what has been an epic adventure.

What a ride it has been for us all back here in NZ. Ben, I read your blog last night with almost a sense of loss, no more detailed account of each day as it unfolds . . . What will we do to fill the void?

Mitch I lay on your bed yesterday and tried to imagine sharing a room that size with 9 others, they must have such a sense of community and sacrifice that we could all learn from.

We are now sitting around today at the Mt, (in the rain again), dreaming up menus for New Years celebrations though my mind keeps wandering . . . thinking about how you are all getting on, how much you will have grown from this experience. How lucky you are to have teachers that give so much of themselves to help shape some pretty special boys into young men. This really has been a journey that we've experienced with the help of your words and experiences. Thank you for sharing, it has been totally heartwarming and inspiring.

Looking forward to midnight on the 4th, having you back home and listening to all of your stories.
