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.
