All, thank you for the condolences regarding Porntip Udomsin's death, and Natalia Schulte's well-being. Natti is doing better and better by the hour but is still in pain. She has been sleeping mostly, from the painkillers involved. The good news is she is off liquid morphine and onto pills, a huge milestone, especially in less than a day's time. We hope she can come home today, it really depends on how mobile she is. Natti misses home a lot, and the dogs miss her and Tip a whole heck of a lot.
Porntip will be greatly missed, besides my deceased grandmother, she was the nicest person I've ever known, and incredibly brilliant. Tip was very quiet amongst strangers, but very outspoken amongst friends and family. She has never once interfered with our relationship and has largely taken a back seat with any of Natti and my quarrels. I couldn't possibly respect her any more for this, it meant a heck of a lot. She was visiting for several months and wasn't due to leave until late January, Natti, the dogs, and I never wanted her to leave. She was a highly accomplished and regarded professor at a university in Thailand, slowly moving into retirement. Porntip loved to work, it was her passion to help others in need.
Things happen for a reason, we will be starting another chapter in our lives, and things can only get better at this point. Porntip will most likely be cremated at Stygar funeral home, on Mid rivers mall drive, saint peters, MO. We may have a brief public viewing, any details will shortly follow. Along with many more details on the events that have, and will take place in the near future.
As for me, I was able to finally sleep a few hours this morning after being awake a couple days. Sleep was hard, even with the sleeping pills, which largely did nothing.
I am truly blessed to still have the love of my life, when the officer first called, I swore my heart stopped a few seconds.
Any flowers can be sent directly to our house, if Natti ends up staying longer I will bring any and everything to her. Her phone was broken in the crash so it won't ring until her new one arrives. We don't need donations, however I encourage everyone to please donate to their favorite charity, in Porntip's name. She would want that more than anything.
Thank you mom and dad for being there every step of the way
Again, thanks all and God bless.
