Saying Goodbye

My heart goes out to three courageous people who lost their battle with cancer this week. I was amazed by their strength and they have all touched by life and changed me for the better. I am so blessed to be able to care for such amazing people. My heart also goes out to their families who were always there through thick and thin. So maybe you could all throw a prayer their way.

I honestly don't know how you are still going strong on E8. But maybe it's because that is where you belong...maybe you just have a gift. Honestly, your patients are lucky to have you.

I am so sad to hear about our patients passing, I wondered what would happen while i was on maternity leave, I guess I knew this would happen though there is just no winning all the time I guess with what we do. You help me see things in a better light though, instead of getting mad that we couldn't save them you make me see that we tried and we gave them a chance where they would not have had one without treatment. I do feel blessed to have been able to know and care for these people, even though its hard. Thanks Jen for always putting a positive spin on things it definitely helps out those who work with you and I know it helps your patients as well!
