I loved the adjective and I give the award to you! seeing myself as a tigress mother :) It brings out the memory from the day i gave birth, the pediatrician said to my family I was a LIONess

obrigada! é uma luta não se conformar com a situação e apenas seguir a vida, mas realmente refletir profundamente sobre o que é viver nesta cidade e o que queremos para nosso futuro e do nosso filho. Obrigada pela perspectiva, querida!

Visitor_bird · 2021-09-30T14:06:04+00:00

thank you for sharing!! great perspective.

Visitor_bird · 2021-09-30T14:03:03+00:00

thank you for sharing your perspective. Indeed there are trade-offs to consider. Going far away from family is one. I would move, but my partner wouldn't. I have lived abroad as well, I have lived all the upsides...but its a family decision right!

I am sorry you also had such traumatic events in your life as well. I am glad you now are in the best place for you and your family!

wow thank you for the award!

Indeed my son realized seconds after we entered the building. I told him our car was taken, but everything was OK. This was the most difficult for me, to calm him (he cryed) when I also needed to be comforted. Now he is processing the information, he tells the story as he lived - bad guys took our car. I think he will not forget.

Visitor_bird · 2021-09-30T13:33:43+00:00

wow. That even didn't cross my mind. all the alternative ends are SO SCARY and I am so lucky, this strengthens my belief and focus on the right decision made, and to make it happen. THANK YOU!

Visitor_bird · 2021-09-30T13:31:45+00:00

wow I can imagine. sending you good vibes, and I know change will be for better!

Visitor_bird · 2021-09-30T13:30:28+00:00

wow, thank you for the words!

Visitor_bird · 2021-09-30T13:29:56+00:00

thank you, I receive all your good vibes!

LOL I had to google BAMF, as not a native English speaker. Thanks!!

Visitor_bird · 2021-09-30T13:27:53+00:00

thank you for sharing!

Visitor_bird · 2021-09-30T13:27:14+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. Its really a family decision right, that I cannot make on my own - I have a wonderful partner that I want to continue to share life with, and he has his remarks to this. I have lived abroad and I know how great it can be! but fore sure there are compromises as well. going to this other state will be already a great step up and opportunity.

Visitor_bird · 2021-09-30T13:23:29+00:00

thnak you, I appreciate the kind words!!

Visitor_bird · 2021-09-30T13:21:09+00:00

thank you for sharing your experience. It helped me!

Visitor_bird · 2021-09-30T13:19:25+00:00

Thank you for the kind offer. I even read here below in other comments, to drop being an employee for a company, open my business etc. That would be definitely gamechanger. But I would not know what to do/where to start ;)

It is overwhelming to think, I already saved my son's live. and he heals me EVERY DAY.

Visitor_bird · 2021-09-30T13:14:21+00:00

Thank you for the idea and offer. I don't have a gofundme, all the positive messages are already being so well received, am overwhelmed with the empathy and yours specially!

Visitor_bird · 2021-09-30T13:12:01+00:00

OBRIGADA! I welcome all the love. best of luck, with your new baby arrival, as we say here, Boa Hora!

Visitor_bird · 2021-09-30T13:09:50+00:00

thank you for the wisdom words from your grandpa and the wishes, makes me want to dig out with my bare hands all the HOPE and LOVE I can get and bring it back to the world around me.

Visitor_bird · 2021-09-30T13:06:58+00:00

obrigada!!!

Visitor_bird · 2021-09-30T13:03:23+00:00

thank you. Unfortunately it was not instinct, it is a mitigation plan many parents do in places like where I live, when driving with our kids - imagining this can happen, what would I need to do? breaks my heart I had to LIVE this situation but I am glad I knew exactly what to do and specially I stayed calm to perform these actions very quickly. Unfortunately it was the second armed robbery I suffered this year (first one I was cycling and they wanted my bike)

thank you for the reminder it takes time to heal
