Hi.
This is the story of how life can change too fast. From Asian beaches to Irish chemo wards, we document it here.
This is the story of how life can change too fast. From Asian beaches to Irish chemo wards, we document it here.
Jessica is from Ireland, Mike is from Fort Myers, Florida. We live in San Francisco.
We started this blog to keep family and friends updated when we moved to Bangkok in 2015. Mike got a job doing data analytics, so we packed up our life in Florida and got ingrained in the expat community in Bangkok. We spent an adventurous 2.5 years working in the Big Mango, playing Gaelic Football and traveling both locally and long haul.
In 2018, a great opportunity for Jessica brought us back to the states, although far from where we started. We had a great summer, enjoying Northern California and our new city.
Then Jessica’s sister was diagnosed with Stage 4 cervical cancer. The following year was an anxious, desperate zig-zag between CA and Ireland, trying to hold onto our new life and care for Rebecca. Mike got a job 5 days before she died.
The months since have been so hard. We are recovering and taking care of ourselves, even as we both reach new career highs as managers in organizations we respect and industries we are passionate about.
