Brought a blanket to the meeting, doctor told me move and be free

How are we so blessed with doctors like this? On the day I was scheduled to meet with him, I was a little anxious to know how to act though once I sat down in the office, he came into the room with a big smile of his face and immediately cheered me up. He looked at me and said, "You're going to be alright." And with those words I knew he was right. I knew he was confident in his work. I knew he was going through his life just like I was going through mine and I was thankfull that I had such a person at that moment to remind me that it's okay to believe, that it's okay to trust, and that it's okay to hope and to love and to overcome worries. To receive love and to give love, the positive thought supports loving actions for health, and the doctors words made me laugh before we were done he joked about turtles and reminded me of the beach with a story from his childhood. These kind-hearted memories are what make my life more enjoyable; may our memories bring happiness and joy to our loved ones still living across this globe and may they rest the souls of those passed on, free of animosity, jealousy, and needless worry so closure may entail and we may move on with courage in our hearts. And God bless the kind doctors who have the courage to heal patients with a smile, a gentle hand, and a touch of humor.

Love and respect,
