Michael Thompson is developing a new book – Homesick and Happy – through his blog. When I read it, I immediately thought of the fifth and sixth grade parents who are anxiously awaiting their students’ return tomorrow. He is writing about children’s experiences away from their parents and seeking to remind parents of the positive aspects of those times. Reading it gave me a new appreciation of BCD’s trips so I thought I would share it. They are yet another part of the BCD experience that my work in development supports. His words may not make you stop missing your child, but they may remind you of why these trips are important.
