When I do the math I am always in disbelief. Even though we weren't crazy about being stranded in Suriname during a world crisis, we spent so much time there that it became a home of sorts whether we liked it or not.
Those were formative years for the girls, and there's not a day that goes by where something to do with our time in Suriname is brought up in conversation. We have one friend there that is also a Hiver, now one of our best friends, and we're trying to get him to move here.
