Hi Justin!
My heart goes out to you and your beautiful (and growing) family. My heart aches too hear how you have struggled far from home... and yet! You have all held together and grown strong and resilient! That is nothing short of love held true.
I am so confident that one day this experience of hardship (that has shaped you all) will give context (and even an edge) to the next chapters of your lives... and it is my hope that these times will have stitched every ounce of your beings to each other!
All through these times... you have been a family unit and so I hope that this brings you the joy that will heal your hearts over the coming years.
These pictures you've shared do have so much joy in them! They are unforgettable treasures! Thank you for sharing them with us... and I'm so glad that Hive has been your blockchain home. You had the foresight to transcend those physically imposed barriers to freedom and sufficiency by making Hive your home...
If it wasn't for this... I would never have known your story... and my family wouldn't have connected with yours.
I hope that you are able to solve these very real problems soon and I hope that you are all able to reclaim what you have lost... But more importantly! I hope that you are all able to gain more than you have lost (with compounded interest!) as time allows you the ability to reframe and rebuild your lives.
This I know... When life is at it's hardest... When the competition is the toughest... When the resistance seems the stiffest... When all seems but lost... THAT is when the breakthroughs happen!
That is my wish for you and your family.
Your friend,
@wil.metcalfe
P.S. Just to give you the headsUP! I have ⭕️ targeted this post with @Comet.Ranker! A new service I have launched exclusive to Hive to encourage more wholesome engagement and also a friendlier blockchain! INCOMING!!! ☄️
