One of my favorite things about George's two years working for a company based in Bangalore, India was making new friends. Vinu is a young engineer who lived here in Portland for the past two years. Almost every week George and I have gone out to lunch with him. A couple of weeks ago he moved back home. When we asked him what he'd miss about Oregon, besides us of course, without hesitation he said, "Olive Garden".
He is the same age as our sons and I had to fight hard to resist the urge to 'mother' him. Sometimes I felt like saying, "Drive carefully it's raining" or "Where is your coat? It's cold today." We miss him but are confident we'll see him again!
