Lenneke, I'm sad to hear that.
I hope you get to have peace with your dad, and he with you.

Broke contact with my dad, who lives in Bonaire. It was hard :cry: But now I feel I made the right decision. ( Been away from the forum for a while. A lot happend in a week. But luckily I have Libera to pull me through)

Wish I could console you a bit my friend......I'm sorry. I always listen to Lead Kindly Light when things get rough, and it gives solace. God Bless you Lenn.

Lennes,
That has got to be a tough decision to make. Good luck going forward, I wish you and your dad the best.

Not to change the topic, but right now, I'm getting ready to go to bed because I am beat. My legs are tired and sore because I played hockey for 2 hours today. One of the guys on my team graduated with his Masters Degree, so he had an all day party - part of which was playing hockey. It was a ton of fun. There were a lot of adults, but there were also some kids who skated with us. There were 4 boys that were about 10, another who was 13, and a girl who was 6. Our goalie was another 10 year old boy. They were all ready good. Even the 6 year old skated really well. We played a real game (no checking of course) and it was a blast. I spent most of my time setting up the kids on our team. I had a couple of drop passes to the girl, and she scored on 2 of them. Our goalie was stonewalling the other team too. It was so much fun playing with the kids.

After hockey most of us went out for pizza and hung out. There I got to talk to a couple of the kids and we played some games. I loved played with the kids. That really got me excited to be a Big Brother. I recently signed up for the Big Brothers, Big Sisters program and should be matched with a young boy soon. I said I wanted an athletic 9, 10, 11 year old, and the kids I was playing with today were just what I hope I get to mentor. I'm excited and nervous about the program though. I think it will be cool to mentor someone who needs it, and I hope I can show him new things, and give him new experiences. I just hope the kid and I click right away and can have fun together. The boys I played with today didn't know me before today, and by the end, we were cool.

Hopefully in a few weeks I can update everyone about my little brother.
Lead, kindly light amid the circling gloom.
Lead thou me on.
The night is dark and I am far from home.

Just watching I-clips from a youth channel in Belgium.
Kids can play the leading part in the videoclip of their idol. So they film the clip again with kids(who really sing also) and as much look a like as the real videoclip.

I personally like the 'Justin Bieber - baby' clip with the 13 year old Glenn. I think the result is very much look a like as the original clip and this with a smaller budget as the real Bieber clip :wink: . You also have others with Lady Gaga, Katy Perry...

I don't know Maarten how they get into the show. I guess it's with audition because they all can sing and dance quite good.

Enjoy London. I have exams :( . Tomorrow I have one of the most difficult "Trinity". And next tuesday I have 'Sacramentology: Eucharist".

Enjoy the Evensongs and West End, all you London-bound folk.

Right now, I'm sitting fairly awkwardly, as I've got a very small kitten sprawled out across my shoulder and collarbone. A woman who works with my mum unexpectedly found herself with a small litter, and mum brought the last of them home yesterday. He's dotey, we're smitten, and I have a brand new, cream-coloured scarf just in time for summer. :D

Good luck with your new "scarf". :D I bet he's adorable! :wink: And have fun everybody who's going places. :mrgreen:

I'm packing up for a trip now - my grandma want to take some of us to visit relatives. The funny thing is that we're going to drive to our destination over 12 days (I guess we're doing some sight-seeing) but according to Google maps, you can walk there in 15. :lol: (I'll be gone from tomorrow to the end of June by the way, in case anyone wonders where I disappeared to. :wink: )

Could I resist an invitation to show him off? :lol: Do these photos work?

I feel like a nervous new parent. What if he falls ill? What if he wastes away like kittens sometimes do? What if I step on him? What if he gets out and is lost? What if a fox sneaks into the house and snatches him? And what if he misses his mum and littermates?

But! Good thoughts for our boy. We're hoping he'll settle into his new home soon.

Any name suggestions? We've sort of just been calling him Little Man / Smallface / Handsome Boy / Wee One, but he needs a real name.
