My dear friend S and her family moved out of Japan, back to the Netherland, this morning. It is hard to believe that they are gone - so much so that I have looked up their house on the rental property website to make sure it is true.

I am really going to miss them and I cherish all the friendship she and her family have shared with us. I wish them the very best and I am so hopeful that our path will cross again in the future.
