Good people

One of the main nurses looking after my father in-law has been the sweetest ladies these past few weeks. Her name is Miriam. Her English isn’t amazing by any means, but over the last few weeks she has really developed a bond with my father in-law.

We had a really heartwarming moment here today. As we went to thank her for being amazing, she just mentioned that she wanted to made sure that my father in-law was never lonely. She apparently has been singing to him every night. They also chat about art, ballet, and politics.

Miriam is one of those good people in the world that just loves people. She has no motivation besides wanting to help. The world would be a better place if there were more Miriam’s around.

I have a few more work calls and to-dos to wrap up and then I’m off to see some friends that I’ve made in the last few weeks. I’ll say my goodbyes as I start to make my journey back home tomorrow.

It is a bit bittersweet. When you stay someone for a prolonged period such as we have in Zadar, it’ll also be a place that has meaning to me. Sophia and I are talking about doing a trip back to Croatia next summer/fall. I hope we make it happen.
