I am so proud to call you my friend. Your heart for your students, your compassion for the Thai people. You're doing what a lot of people don't do when they do work abroad. You're becoming part of the culture and that's so important. Every day I am grateful for your insight and heart. Thank you for sharing your experiences and struggles. You are changing lives and Thailand is changing yours. You are such a special soul. I'm praying for you each and every day, soul sister.

An acceptance of where you are and what you're living, and a genuine love for your people, your Thai family. As your mama, it truly gives me pleasure to hear of your new found peace. Lainey is wise, too, in saying that you will benefit greatly from your rest, gathering new strength, new insights, and new resolve to continue your journey forward. I love you so much, dear one, and it gives me so much joy to see you love what you are doing.Karen Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761585469288813399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776381024940526043.post-56954788638390873762013-07-05T21:45:20.444+07:002013-07-05T21:45:20.444+07:00Thank you, Lainey (and Mike).

We love and miss you very much. <3 LainMike and Laineyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04813224096085555594noreply@blogger.com
