I have lost so many

patients recently and some of them I adored.  If only I had more time!  That is a familiar lament however, and time is not given to all in equal measure. 

What would I do if I had more time with the patients I adore?  I'd ask them lots of questions.  About life.  About happiness.  About lessons learned and battles won.  I'd want to know how they became the way they are, the wonderful, perfect people that I meet.

I will miss them so much, and yet because I believe in heaven, I believe I will see them again.  I can't wait!
