Folding The Tent

After two years in this wonderful country, we are reluctantly leaving Thailand and returning to the US. Avid readers of this blog may remember an entry made over a year and a half ago concerning my fourteen-foot fall through a roof to a concrete floor below. The three of you will recall my sheer joy over having miraculously survived it and the conviction that I would eventually enjoy a total recovery from my internal injuries. It hasn’t happened. I haven’t known a day without pain since and my problems are worsening. So we are going back to familiar turf to get some answers and search for solutions.

We put off making this difficult decision perhaps too long. A battle of conflicting emotions raged within us for months, before we realized that our best option was to reverse sails and head back.

I may be able to make a few parting entries before we leave and I hope to continue the blog after we return, although it’s shape and content will no doubt change. It’s a difficult parting and much of our hearts will remain.
