Sit back, and let someone who is retired military with four years as a police office in a big California city, a lifetime gun owner, and gasp even an NRA member tell you some things that really will work.

Chances are the next spouse/mate addressed these areas precisely. And a few years later, to your horror, you discovered they're not perfect either. |

So when you ask “do you miss Thailand yet?” The answer is “Yes of course.” But I’m not yet finished with Thailand. I left a large piece of myself in Thailand, friends, family, memories and dreams. |
