I posted this on my personal page. I wanted to share this with the community. For now, uploading content to the community is on hold. Im trying to rebuild a new life after Ananda's passing, its been extremely difficult as you can imagine. Im pushing through. As you can see, I cannot travel that much, so I dont have any travel content to share at this time. Im not closing down the channel, its just on hold. I know Ananda would have wanted me to continue this on.

Just a quick update on my new chapter of life. Recently, Ive been diagnosed with non alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver and Stage 1 heart failure. And two days ago, got a call from the doctor, he is referring me for a pacemaker. My understanding, its a special device that should help with my heart failure. I need to be qualified first. (for medical reasons) Now Im just waiting for them to give me an appointment time. I continue to get out every day (for the most part, some days im lazy) for coffee and run errands. I have a senior friend who I talk to and hang out. Its been comforting. Im also working on something that may help me with my medical issues like home support at home. (I can still live normally, but I do have bad days) It will also help with the loneliness at home. Im continuing with my dj stuff, working at going live on Twitch and possibly TikTok soon. I cannot travel anywhere outside of Canada due to complications with medical travel insurance, with pre-existing medical conditions, very risky for me as I have new diagnosis and the need for stability to qualify for insurance. I just got back last week from camping with my friend Sean in Sechelt BC, which got me stoked about roadtripping this summer. Maybe up to Kelowna to see my sister and a new friend I met online who lives there. Im living and surviving, pushing through all the struggles that comes with whatever im going through. My main issue, is living alone. But, there is a tough lesson in it for me to learn and im doing it. Thank you everyone who has reached out to me with love and compassion. It warms my heart. Please dont be afraid to reach to me and say hi, it truly helps. I know, sometimes it is difficult to interact with someone who is mourning, but Im passed the stage of needing "sensitivity". Nobody will ever fix what Im going through and I truly feel the love all around me. Again, Thank you, Larry

As you may have noticed, my friends Matt & Kimbra have recently started a gofundme for me. Ananda and I had a cruise booked for this September, it was supposed to be a special cruise for us as it would have been Anandas first cruise and birthday cruise. September.5-13, 2026. It is out of Miami. We had put a $100 deposit on it and were supposed to make payments and the final paymentis due June.10,2026 (our anniversary). Being on disability ny myself now, I cannot afford to pay for the cruise myself, and so my friends decided to try and get me on the cruise with them by starting this fundraiser. The goal is around $3000cad or $2500usd, which pays for everything including flights to Miami. Please consider donating whatever you can, big or small. If you cannot afford to donate for whatever reason, would you please share this link out to your friends and family? Lots of live, Thank you, Larry & Ananda Dixon Gerow ❤️

Larry booked this cruise with his wife, Ananda, with so much joy and anticipatio… Kimbra Shaffer needs your support for Help Larry Honor Love and Find Healing

Hello everyone. As you can imagine, life has been pretty tough for me over the last few months. I've chosen to keep a low profile lately and im not being active online as I used to. Even though I still struggle with being alone, im learning day by day, how to be okay with being alone, im rebuilding, slowly, im okay. Ananda and Charlie are right here getting me through this tough period. I had a friend visit me for a couple weeks which was great. Right now, im working on becoming a DJ sharing music on line. It was a hobby that Ananda suggested for me to do.

Excitedly, my YouTube friends, Matt & Kimbra from Fintastic Cruising channel have created this gofundme for me. I met them both on a cruise I went on in 2022 where Matt proposed to Kimbra.❤️ I got to hang out with them on a snorkeling excursion which was amazing and informative We also had dinner at one of the specialty restaurants together with them. As I mentioned above, they are a YouTube channel that I moderate for when they go live on Friday evenings. Sadly, due to the nightmare ive been going through, I haven't been able to join them much on their lives.

As the gofundme mentions, Ananda and I had plans to join Matt and Kimbra on this cruise (a group cruise), which is coming up, September.8-15,2024 out of Miami FL. It would have been perfect for Anandas birthday, September.11. This would have been her first cruise also. We had already put down a $100usd deposit on the cruise and were going to start making payments when she got the diagnoses. We were excited to join, even with the diagnoses. If I cancel, I lose that money. Even though im on disability on a fixed income, I truly would love to join this cruise as a way to honor the love I have for Ananda. I still want to celebrate her birthday on the ocean.

Please consider donating whatever you can today, big or small. If you cant, please share the link out to your friends and family. With lots of love, Larry & Ananda from Plump Travelers. Thank you.❤️🙂
