“Thank you for sharing this amazing week with all of us. I hope to see you all again. Everyone reading this is invited to surf with me. Gracia.”
“I would tell you how lucky I was to meet you all. Girls of the clinic, of course, but also you all, the staff. It was a privilege to surf with you, to laugh with you, to sing with you, to spread love with you—different culture, but same heart and an unconditional love for being together in the ocean. Take care of yourself, please, as maybe someday I will be able to see you again. Please, if you plan to go to French Polynesia, call me. Perci.”
