I can relate to this because my mom's birth country is Thailand, and I had been there a couple of times during childhood, and each time it changed me profoundly. And then, when I was 33, it was pretty major with connecting with my family as best as possible, mainly through their generosity and being in their presence.

I love that you got to visit during your childhood and that it impacted you each time ☺️ That is the beauty and mystery of our "motherlands", at least I feel it is. Each time I go I don't know until after how it will impact me. And glad you got to connect with family as well, it's such a special and wild feeling!

having a family that welcomes you with open arms, no matter how long away from home, is precious. i loved this, it reminded me of my family.
