My name is America, and I’m the lady who came up to you a few weeks ago at the bar and told you that you were beautiful. That may have been something so small to you, but there is so much I still want to tell you. The first night I came to Walking Street I saw you, and my heart instantly loved you. I really don’t have the words to describe it. I saw your physical beauty, but more than that I saw the beauty that you carry inside. Your kindness and joy you have for the people around you. I felt such a desire to get to know you and be friends with you. Not just friends in the days we saw each other in Pattaya, but lifelong friends. I am still hopeful that it can happen and I am beliving it will 🙂 I want to be able to visit you whenever I return to Thailand and hear all about your family and get to know your heart. Joy radiates from you, and it is such a gift from God.

This letter may catch you off guard, and if I am honest it was a surprise for me too. I have never felt such a deep connection with someone I have spoken just a few words to. But Nancy, my heart leaps for you. The one night we didn’t come to Walking Street, we spent the day resting, and that night I couldn’t sleep. I stayed up until 4 AM thinking and praying to the point of tears, in hopes that one day you will know the love the Father has for you. Nancy, that love is pure and can be trusted, and I want nothing more for you than for you to know love like that. I read your Facebook posts and see how you search and long for love. I look at you and know with every fiber in my being that you are loved! Loved by your family, friends, and most importantly your heavenly Father.

I hope that one day our friendship evolves into more than messages and likes on Facebook, and when that time comes I am here and ready. Until then, I will keep praying for you, checking in, and just cheering for you! Be blessed, my friend!

Your new friend,
America
