Congratulations to you and Nindy @skyhooks! I thought I would do some catching up and remembering our conversation a number of months ago I looked you up here on Steemit. I was so happy to see this post and although it's been 6 months now... I had to write! :D

Your description of the events leading up to your marriage and the special day it's self were fantastically raw and real. Thank you for taking the time to share your inner thoughts and feelings.

I know that you are not the only ones to experience a situation like this one. I hope that sharing your journey here on Steemit encourages other people who read this to have the same courage in pursuing their own freedom and happiness... despite the religious and cultural expectations, conditioning, and pressures they may be experiencing.

I couldn't agree more with your deductions and ultimate life decision be the honorable man (despite the position of fear you described) and stand confidently beside your wife and child. Bravo! And, just so you know, I liked the white gloves! They sort of made you into a hero... if not to society and it's stuffy rules you are now a hero to the ones who matter most. Your beautiful wife and wonderful child.

I know that the next couple years will be full of love and inspiration as well as hardship and difficulty. As we discussed before... Being a cultural bridge is never an easy one... But I know that, if you stay true to yourself and the ones you love, it is one the will yield a life full of rewards. A legacy.

@skyhooks! Once again! Congratulations! I wish you all the best in Vietnam my friend! AND! Seeing as the other day was Fathers Day here in Canada... I wish you a happy Fathers Day! Your wee one must be very close to being born... So I hope that Nindy has an easy time of it!

I am exited for the three of you as I know that, although it was a difficult start to your story together, the next chapters you write together will be wonderful ones!
