Thank you everyone for your kindness and support during this time! As a newcomer to Dubai, not gonna lie I was a bit shocked to find myself in a situation I’ve never ever been in before (the UAE being attacked by Iran), and more stressed to be facing it without my partner who was away on business.
When his flight was cancelled we did what committed couples do: communicate clearly and openly, honestly expressing our concerns and look for solutions, not stepping over the emotional experience. We chose to lean in together, with a 12 hour time difference, and support each other. It really made all the difference in navigating this extraordinary time!
As it turns out, the UAE is remarkable in how it’s defending itself and its citizens’ safety. I’m proud to be a resident here and moved at how I’ve need welcomed so warmly.
Gary is back and although the although strikes are still happening, we are facing it together 🫶🏼
Thank you, I love you, we will carry on and get through this.
