This is the reference photo for yesterday’s sketch. Mike was very relaxed and looks pretty happy here. I didn’t quite capture this expression yesterday, but I felt compelled to share this image today. It was always heartwarming to see Mike smile.
I don’t have an exact date of this photo, but it is most likely in the early 2000s.

He does look content and chilled out. What a lovely photo of him. Is he getting better?
Thanks, Jo. This was a different hospitalization than his most recent one. Currently he is on a respirator, in a nursing home; prognosis unknown.
Oh goodness, that’s hard, for him and for you too. Thinking of you both. x
Thank you, Jo.
Mike is doing better now. Off the respirator, still on oxygen, not yet back in his group home yet. Thanks for thinking of us.

Oh that’s good news! I hope he continues to improve.
Thank you, Jo.
