It sounds like he may still be in college...
ah, to be young again.
I remember taking things for granted when I was his age.
When I moved to Miami, and heard the hardships of people living in Cuba, Columbia, and Mexico...I had a wake up call.My friend in Columbia told me when she was young, the police would frequently raid her home for items her parents brought back from the states. They would even take clothes and perfume. She said she would overhear them discussing how to divide the goods.
My husband and his family where forced to leave Cuba in 1970, with only the clothes they were wearing and their passports. They could not take any of their possessions, not even pictures. And you know what, they were lucky.
