And you have done it before, just not as a family of three. The leaving part hurts, the aeroplane ride leaves you suspended between loss and anticipation, and the arrival brings excitement, adventure and hope. This sounds really trite, but don't shortcut yourself on feeling those emotions, whatever they may be. It's part of the journey. And... jy moet probeer om die reis te geniet.

The joy keeps coming up after you’ve arrived, when you take a new route on the back roads, when you successfully navigate some arcane red tape, when you find the shop that has the best bread in your neighborhood.

MOVE can be a metaphor just for change, or can even mean just making a move in life even if it's not geographically. Change is good. Bon Voyage. We'll miss you.
