writing about this today prompted me to call my friend tonight to see how he is going. He is a much happier man that a few months ago, and yes he and his wife have had another baby, which I already knew, as she was born the day before I arrived in Bali in April.
All seems to be going well for them, or at least as well as can be expected, given that things are a little tough for everyone over there at the moment.
As to the photo when i returned home I attempted to download the picture from the phone to my laptop but was unsuccessful.
Again, your post today has prompted me to follow-up and I will try other avenues to retrieve the photo of his son for him. I would very much like to be able to take a copy with me when I return in a few weeks.
I am grateful for all of my friendships in Bali. In the past some have been a trial, but along the way I have learnt to accept that no-one in this life is perfect. The one thing I can say with certainty is that true friends dont care who you are, what your past is. They dont judge you. They dont care how badly you mess up along the way. At the end of the day they will stand beside you and in your heart you know they are.
The words of a song by Carole King ring true to me... "Winter, Spring Summer or Fall, all you got to do is call and I'll be there, yes I will, cos you've got a friend..." cheers :-)
