A couple months ago I received an email saying that my primary care provider was no longer going to be in practice this Summer.

I saw her face again today. Except, the reality check hit when I remembered it couldn't be her face. She died over 3 years ago. We weren't close by any means. We were coworkers who were friends at work, but not outside of it. After I quit, I would always go to find her if... Continue Reading →

I promised I would always be real in my blogs. This one is no different. Though, I do cringe a bit when I think about specific people reading the details of my thoughts and feelings.
