Today I am missing people.

My daughter’s 12th birthday is today. I feel like she was just born. I feel like I blinked and she grew from a baby to an almost teenager. She’s not here with me today. She’s in Calgary visiting family. Family is important, as is being loved and having loved ones.

Last night I had a dream that I was with my brother. I told him I missed him and tried to hug him but he told me I couldn’t because he had to go.

He died suddenly almost 4 years ago. I still think about what I could have done to prevent his death.

I miss my brother. If he was still alive he would turn 42 next month.

Patient, family, clinician; it’s not column A, B, or C.

Love,

Michelle
