As for your mother being far away... the key is that *you* have to be the active part of your relationship with her. Sometimes, our loved ones assume that we're so busy that they do not want to "bother" us. So, they leave out important life events occurring back home. Or they don't call when they really want to. I wish you & your mother :) the best Dr. Tori Thanks Bernice :)

Thanks so much for sharing the video. It's a great reminder to all of us. I'm especially touched since my mom lives a continent away from me. Sometimes it's easy to forget to get in touch. Even if she is constantly in my thoughts, I know I have to actively let her know how much I Iove her. Thanks again! Hope you have a speedy recovery. Hope you’re doing much better.

I hope everything is well on your end. For me, yes, I'm doing well since the accident... occasional back & neck pain, but nothing unbearable. Overall, though, I'm much better off than before the accident. Sometimes all it takes is a perspective change & wow, you see the world an entirely different way - your family, your friends, your time, & other things to be grateful for. Medical training involves so much of our time, our energy, our emotion, and our thoughts, that the other realms of life can suffer. When, in reality, you need those other realms now more than ever. Anyway, I hope that whatever you're going through is a growth opportunity for you & I wish you the best. Dr. Tori You’re very welcome, Lisa. I hope everything is well on your end.

The message that you sent with your reflection couldn't have come at a better time. Note taken. Thanks for sending that.
