I just realized that with my friend Rickey gone, I have no one to put on any of my medical forms where they ask for an emergency contact. When Pim is here, she likely would not be able to communicate with anyone anyway. And she certainly would not be able to drive me anywhere. Driving in Thailand is on the opposite side of the road and the steering wheel on the opposite side of the vehicle. When she is not here, if I were struck down by something, no one here would notice at all. Pim just would not hear from me again, and might think I just decided to end the relationship and ghosted her, I guess. Then move on with her life, never knowing what happened to me. I cannot think of a single solitary soul who would physically check up on me if I went incommunicado for a couple of weeks.
Now ain't this one hell of a thing?
