To the one of a few people I encountered online… Coconuter
I am offering this space to David Poarch, the author of the blog “Coconuter”. I had been following his blog for over a year now. I may not comment a lot on his blog but I do lurk in the background reading his stories of hardship, of laughter, and pain. I would gaze at the perfect images he takes of my own country, the Philippines and wonder about what could have been if I had stayed there and how different would I be. As a matter of fact, he is one of a few people who inspired me to start blogging.
He is now returning to the U.S. after his stay in the Philippines. Now married to Liza and has a beautiful baby boy named Thurman, he will return to open the next chapter in his life. The journey is not over. He is still searching like we all are. I’m still searching as well David. We must continue our search of life’s purpose and I fully support your decision.
One of the friends he made during his journey is Simon who created a Youtube video to mark the end and the beginning of another journey.
David, may your life be blessed and may your wings spread wide and may you soar to the highest peaks. You have taught me a lesson from this journey, touched my heart and please know that I will cherish the lessons you’ve taught me for the rest of my life.
The video is as touching as his journey.
