It seemed like we spent forever at the hospital today, meeting Harvey, Harvey’s nurse from the nursing home, Khun Yuwaret, and the main doctor for Harvey there for a routine visit.
Harvey was in pretty good spirits this morning. At one point I was in tears because he thanked me for being there for him. I hugged him and told him that Brian and I will always be there for him because we love him.
Then Khun Yuwaret and I were standing beside the bed while Brian talked with the doctor. I said, “We really like Khun Yuwaret.” Harvey said, “YES!” firmly. Khun Yuwaret started to cry then, saying that this is the first time he has said that.
We BOTH lost it because she told us she is leaving at the end of the year, relocating to Chiang Rai to be closer to her family. We are happy for her, but I am pretty devastated that she’s leaving. I made her this card to give her Thursday, at what might be the last time we see her –
We did, finally, get what we needed from the doctor to get Harvey’s medical visa renewal. Brian headed out again to take all the paperwork to the wonderful lady who helps us with visa stuff.

I haven’t done much else yet today. I think my energy is hiding somewhere. Maybe I’ll discover it after I finish writing my posts for the blog….
I hope you’re having a wonderful day. If you’re traveling for the holiday, I wish you safe and smooth travels. If you’re having people to your home, I wish you a joyous celebration.

I love the picture you drew and painted. It is just beautiful. You are so talented. That was sweet what your Harvey said about standing by him. I know that brought tears to my eyes. Your visits are somewhat like being on a roller coaster with many ups and downs and twists and turns. You are a very strong woman, and Your Harvey and Brian are very fortunate to have you as a wife and mother. I am fortunate to have somehow found your blog and reading your posts with so many interesting posts about your life and many things that you share. Thank you for sharing. (Donna)

Thank YOU for reading and commenting, Donna. It means the world to me. I’m glad you like the picture I made for Khun Yuwaret. She is irreplaceable and we will all miss her. The nursing home will be sure he has good, caring help ( I HOPE not a male!) but no one will replace this wondeful woman. Thanks, also, for your kind comments about me. I’m really happy you enjoy reading my more personal posts. I have wondered if people like them, just tolerate them, scroll past them, or…. I wish you a wonderful Christmas, Sweet Donna, and a terrific 2026. I’m glad we met!
