Meeting My Dad For The 3rd Time

Meeting My Dad For The 3rd Time

I met my biological father in Crete for the first time when I was 6 years old.

I met him for the second time in Crete when I was 29 years old back in October 2023.

I will get to meet him for the third time in August this year as I have booked a two-week holiday to Crete.

The first two times I met him, it was the most scared and emotionally vulnerable I had felt in my entire life.

After having a 23-year gap between visits, all the deep-rooted fears and worries in my mind began to pop up.

Feelings of anger, frustration, abandonment, anxiety, etc.

But my last visit to Athens and Crete, as emotionally difficult as it was, ended up going very, very well!

I was pleasantly surprised by how well I got on with my dad and my two half-sisters.

I also got to meet my 89-year-old granny and my dad's wife, who were both so welcoming.

People talk about life-changing experiences, and sometimes it can be a cliché, but this was definitely one for me.

Ever since that second trip to Crete in 2023, I have felt more whole again.

Like a wound that had been open for many years had finally begun to heal.

With that healing has come a lot more growth in my personal and professional life.

I have been feeling much happier and have had the extra mental head space to focus on growing my business.

So, for this third trip, I am honestly really looking forward to it!

I'm excited to spend more precious time with everyone, exploring more of Crete and eating lots of amazing food.

Crete is one of the most beautiful islands I've been to (apart from Ireland, of course ?? ??).

If you are open to sharing, what has been a life-changing experience for you over the past few years?

All the best,

Elan
