Thavorn is simply the most wonderful woman I have met in my life. There is not a mean bone in her body and she is happy for everything positive that happens in her life and accepts the 'not so good things' in stride.
She has been physically abused and cheated on by previous Thai husbands but that does not stop her from embracing the present.
She has worked high rise construction projects and cleaned toilets in resorts, but is not happy sitting at home and not contributing to our income. I keep telling her that her job s to be the best momma that Jaidan could ever have and she is rising to that challenge but is still not used to farang rules such as no hitting the kid! Thai kids are smacked by both parents and teachers on a regular basis. Not Jaidan!
Yesterday afternoon a delicious birthday cake and card arrived compliments of the resort and I was impressed that Thavorn had arranged it as she is very shy and also said she did not. However, today, another birthday card and cake arrived and Thavorn asked how the resort knew and they said they noticed our birthdays when they photocopied our passports. A very nice touch and kudos to the Marriott Resort Beach Club in Phuket!
So happy birthday Thavorn and welcome to middle age. You are getting better, not older :-)
