Khun Apple Today!

Khun Apple making faces "under the freeway". She is such a gentle soul, but forgotten and alone now. A former bar worker, freelance and Gogo bar, in Pattaya. She had many farang (Western) boyfriends when younger. Now she is all by herself, dying slowly of addiction.

I gave her 2 containers of soya milk (recommended by the lady at a nearby store who knows her) and some food today which she eagerly ate and drank. Will take her some over the counter medicines and more food and soya milk tomorrow. She asked me if I would come back tomorrow, and I said I would.
She has moments of awareness and kindness that defies her condition. Apple saw a small cut on my hand and asked what happened to me. I told her I cut my hand when making food.
She seemed happy to know I was coming back.

Note* Dodged the background white areas of the yesterday portrait of Khun Apple. I like the simplification, isolation. Before and After.
