tears are streaming down my face as I read this because we have painstakingly come to the same realizations and had the same fears about our child's safety at school, grocery stores, etc. here in the US. We have been planning a move to Portugal and starting with a 6-week visit this summer- perhaps our paths will cross someday! Wishing you and your family a delightful adventure and a peaceful, restful sense of security with your move! All the best, Andrea Farmer

I’m so glad I crossed paths with your arrival post on the FB AFIP group today and ventured on to read this piece of your blog. You have so evocatively unearthed for me—and no doubt others—so many of the shared thoughts and feelings we experienced but may have struggled to put to words. Thanks for unpacking your feelings and your family’s story in such well crafted writing. Welcome to Portugal. I hope you and your family enjoy it in your own way as much as Sarah and I have. Cheers, David Hassler
