Dear @faitherz33, I am very emotional when reading your post. When I met you at SF, I had no idea what you had endured both, because you were like a beautiful couple, smiling and happy.
I fully understand what you have experienced. Our family struggled for two years as our daughter suffered eating disorder. During these two years, I had several times to prepare myself for the worst, the loss of a beloved, with that terrible feeling of helplessness.
Today, our daughter is a beautiful young woman. These hard times have made us stronger, closer, more joyful, eager to live life to the fullest.
I'm so glad to read you changed your plans and moved away from BKK to enjoy some good time at Pattaya. Well done!
We lock ourselves up so often because of our fears. I call them "my little demons". And I have decided a long time ago to (try to) fight them, one at a time. When isolated, they are not so terrible. Sometimes they still win, so I laugh at myself... till next fight ;)
I'm telling you that because this is what you did: riding tuk tuks, riding a river boat, eating stuff, swimming away... Above all, do not diminish the greatness of these small victories, and bounce back with them to face the following ones.
Lol, such a long philosophical comment.
I will end by saying that I loved meeting you. I keep a precise memory of our first encounter, your smiles, the love that emanated from you both. And I'm looking forward to seeing you again next year.
Take care. Much love and a BIG hug! 🤗
Thank you for your great comment. I am sorry that you went through similar stuff with your daughter, but I am glad to hear that she is doing a lot better now.
It was awesome seeing you again this year and we look forward to seeing you again next year. Until then, here is a #proof-of-group-hug from the closing dinner. I am sorry to hear that you lost all of your images from your phone too. That sucks. Thanks for being a great friend.
Oh man!! I appreciate this so very much!! My heart is full from the love and grace I’ve received from all around the world!! I too loved meeting you, your personality resonates very closely to mine! Thank you so much for your comment, truly heart filled and beautiful! My heart hurts for all those having to face these terrible demons, but the more vulnerable I become, the more I realize I am not alone in this battle! So much love to you and your family!! We are already planning on being to the next one 😘 thank you again, this was a fabulous way to end my day.
