Thank you for the helpful responses. We are fortunate to have a great crew looking out for our DS. Two KP engineer alums have really gone above and beyond to teach our son the ropes and make him feel welcome. We have shared your ideas and encouraged him to throw himself into his work...
Our son is at sea and we are facing the loss of his grandmother. We have tried to prep him as much as possible and have expressed that she would want him to continue working hard. Any suggestions on other things we should do?? Difficult time for all of us...
