NeverLand

I've been reading the J.M. Barrie Young Readers chapter book of Peter Pan to Athena every night on this trip (Zoe thinks its boring). The story is oddly reflective of our time here. We've been on adventures almost every day and when they're aren't any adventures we make them up, just like in Peter Pan. But like Wendy, we are growing rather homesick and instead of Mother, we miss this guy an awful lot and it feels like we've been gone for years. We certainly hope he's left the window open, because we're ready to fly home.

"You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by; but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by."

"All children, except one, grow up."

"She was one of the kind that likes to grow up. In the end she grew up of her own free will a day quicker than the other girls."


"Young boys should never be sent to bed. They always wake up a day older, and then before you know it, they're grown."


"Let no one who loves be unhappy, even love unreturned has its rainbow. "

"Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting."
