Oh my dear heavens, darlin, what a painful spot for you! Seventeen seems so young anyway--most kids don't leave home until eighteen over here--but I guess since he's actually not leaving home so much as choosing to spend time with his dad, it isn't the same.

He has an advantage; he knows where he's going. He's not just a tourist. He already has some experience dealing with everyday strife.

I know that must seem pitifully small up against the potential danger. I'm so sorry for the inadequacy of it.

I will keep him in my thoughts and ask for protection for him. Do you mind telling me if he has a preferred spirituality? I don't wish to offend...
