I had a check-up with my dermatologist. Before the exam, he was asking me about LJ and if I planned to have any more children. I told him about my divorce and how I didn't think there would be any more children in my future (something I am kind of devastated about because I absolutely love being a mom). Anyway, I was really surprised by my doctor's reaction. He seemed to be genuinely outraged by my news. He told me that I was a really wonderful, kind, positive person and my husband must be an idiot for not wanting to stay in our marriage. Dr. D is usually all business and kind of on the dry side, but he really came alive when he was giving me his little pep talk. It really meant a lot to me. I expect to hear encouraging words from my friends and family members; they love me and support me unconditionally. I don't expect to hear those things from someone on the periphery. Dr. D's words really touched me. I have been overwhelmed and humbled by the support of so many people.
Today, I started saying "thank you" for that support. It might take me a while, but I want to thank everyone who has made this ordeal a little bit easier. I have a lot of emails to write.
Kind Regards,
Your Neighbor
Ahh, what a nice doc. Isn't it surprising when we see past the medical degrees and lab coats and have those connections? We love our family doctor she's very thoughtful and sweet. I always want to hug here after the kids appointments but never do in fear that I'd weird her out a bit...
ReplyDeleteNIce to hear you had that connection.
Wishing you happy days ahead.
Thank you for the good wishes. I am having the hardest time with refocusing on this project. I keep telling myself that I will get back on board tomorrow, and it seems like tomorrow never comes.
ReplyDeletePS Go ahead and hug that doctor. She would probably welcome it. :-)
If it doesn't happen tomrorrow, there is always the tomorrow after that!
