I came across this photo while scrolling through my phone, and yes⌠it made me shed a tearđ˘ . These roses were a gift from the daughter of one of my patients â a wonderful family I had the privilege of meeting and serving.
She told me they were only a small token of appreciation for how I had treated her mother. I have been blessed to receive a few precious gifts placed on my consultation table over time, and every single one carries more meaning than words can explain.
All I can say is thank you đ
Thank you not only for the gifts, but for the reassurance they bring â the confirmation that I am indeed making a difference, because that has always been my goal.
Thank you for telling me that I made you feel respected, seen, heard, and valued while in my care, because that is exactly what you deserve.
Hearing loss is one of the most underestimated and overlooked impairments in our society, and I chose this career to be one of the voices that says:
âI do not undermine your need for better hearing. I am here for you. Your needs matter. And yes â I understand.âđ¤đ¤
This work is more than a profession to me.
It is purpose. đš
