Today is indeed a sad day, a day on which we will bid farewell to Thailand's beloved late King Bhumibol Adulyadej. King Bhumibol made promises and kept them. Two water cranes flew by my window, one a white bird, the other a black winged crane. King Bhumibol Adulyadej lived and died true to his name, the brave and wise protector of a kingdom he was always ready to serve and defend.
