As I blogged before, Alex and his girlfriend Winnie are on a trip of a lifetime. They are currently in Vancouver, but are heading to Dubai, Hong Kong, China and ultimately grad school in London.
Alex has been sending out newsletters to friends and family documenting his thoughts and experiences along the way. Turns out he is quite the writer! I'm telling you, his newsletters could be turned into a book.
I just wanted to publicly put it out here how proud I am of him. I've always known that Alex was special, but after reading his last newsletter I can say that I think he is amazing.
Nothing bothers me more than when someone is being given a privilege and then act like they are entitled or show no gratitude or appreciation for it. In his latest newsletter Alex' words moved me to tears. They were true words of appreciation; not just for this opportunity but also for his family and for Winnie.
I am proud to be able to call him my stepson.
He is a good friend that speaks well of us behind our backs.
