Sometimes there are moments in life which just capture that feeling of being so very grateful for life itself, tonight was one of those for me as I shared a very special and memorable journey with a patient and family. To see them surround her with champagne glasses in hand, toasting and celebrating her life as their tears flowed with laughter and sadness was such a joy. I will treasure this memory and take it with me in challenging times. Love really is all that matters in the end.
Namaste xx
