Home is where the heart is. USA is my home now. I still think of Bangkok is my other home that I left long time ago. However, that home has changed.

And you are SO fortunate to have the time just to BE. Even though I wouldn't trade my little ones for anything, they make it very hard to find the time just to live and appreciate each moment. I'm glad you recognize what you have!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
