It's the last day of school... and I will soon be on a plane headed to Thailand.
The last several years I've had so many experiences that so deeply affected my life...
Now I embark on a new adventure, a new chapter in my life.
I will try to find my way to internet cafes and such to blog a little...
What I'd really like to say today is that I love each of you for all your kind words of encouragement, your prayers, even gifts. I'd like to bring each of you a thank you gift from Thailand, but that's a little impractical.
I am concerned about my boys while I am gone. Jeremiah emailed me last night, after spending the evening with us. He said he had cried last night, that he already misses me, is afraid he won't see Isaac so much...
Life... Ups and downs... it will continue to be that.
As most of you know... I've a gal in my life I'm dating. It's strange to leave for such an extended period when we are still so new to each other, but I think it will give us both time to reflect on this. I am being much more circumspect about her than I have about other aspects of my life.
But, I can say this... her faith is important to her, we are having many open, frank, honest and gentle conversations. She is very good for me.
At any rate... I'm off for Thailand, and I will check in as often as I can.
I love you all!
About Me
- Curious Servant
- I have adopted two boys from Haiti. Both are mentally handicapped. One is is now 20, the other 18. I divorced my wife of 28 years a few years ago and have just remarried, a woman from Belize. I find beauty in many things... many, many things (nature, art, people, space...) and that helps me to survive my deep empathy for so many who suffer. I like to write, and I've written quite a bit on my blogs. I have been thinking about writing a book. Unsure if it should be about the things I have experienced, or fiction (I have an interesting plot line worked out). I'm pretty open about things. I like blended whiskey, but I never have more than two drinks... usually just one, and not often at that. I have had many adventures. Makes me a little different. (Odd?)

Congratulations to Isaac! Congratulations to you! I am thrilled you have found someone who sees and appreciates you for you.
I hope you have a wonderful trip and enjoy time with your father.
As I pray for you and the boys, I ask that you say a little prayer for my Julie as she prepares for a double surgery. I know she will be fine. Your prayers always bring comfort and make me feel strong.
I love you and hug you tightly from 3000 miles away:-)
