I really don’t think you both realise just how much your support meant to me while we were abroad and my friend was in hospital.
Being in another country, miles away from home, made an already frightening situation feel even more overwhelming. I was somewhere unfamiliar, worried about my friend and trying to deal with everything while my head was all over the place.
But through all of it, I had you two beside me.
While I was worrying about my friend, you were quietly looking after me. You made sure I wasn’t facing everything alone. You checked on me, listened to me and reassured me when I needed it.
I wasn’t thinking about looking after myself, so you did it for me.
You noticed when I hadn’t eaten and made sure I had something. You made sure I was drinking and taking care of myself, even when those things were the last thing on my mind.
Being abroad meant I couldn’t just go home to my family or the familiar comforts I would normally turn to when something went wrong. You two became that comfort
