Speechless Samantha Sunday.
Wishing you a beautiful day!
💜
Promise.
• Quillacollo, Bolivia •
…because sometimes, even during a storm,
somehow we still know that everything is going to be just fine.
🙂
Silly Samantha Sunday.
…because Samantha and Puppydoc would just like to wish you all a warm and lighthearted November Sunday…and also to remind you to be as lazy as possible.
🙂
Buddies.
• Cochabamba, Bolivia •
Because sometimes, there are simply not enough words that can be said that will convey the same amount of endearment as…a staring contest.
🙂
Storytime.
• Vinto, Bolivia •
After tea—and before little Esterita’s nap—she and Puppydoc would often enjoy a story together.
And for a second, they would forget their troubles…big and small…and just touch the stars…
🙂
Tea Time!
• Vinto, Bolivia •
When Puppydoc wasn’t working, she would step right next door to her home…the hospital guesthouse.
There, waiting for her, would be the afternoon tea…fully prepared and served by her host sister, little Esterita…
…and together, they would then chat about their busy day while they took their tea…with two lumps of sugar, of course.
😉
Meet Mayra.
• Vinto, Bolivia •
One of our littler and bravest guests, I first met Mayra when she was admitted to the hospital with cerebral malaria (a severe form affecting the brain) a month prior. Few thought she was going to make it, but as one can see here…she absolutely did.
From scared little girl to fearless survivor, she quickly became an inspiration to those caring for her. Bonding over children’s songs and Dum Dums (green apple was her favorite), our friendship grew, and she quickly became a ray of light in my day.
Here, she is pictured at one of her follow-up appointments with—what else—
—but a green apple Dum Dum.
