- Cherries & Spice… she came to us in the middle of the night (dark chocolate), fussy and feisty (tart cherries), with a fever of unidentified source (spicy heat).
- Nutella Truffle… during her stay, she was mellow and sweet (like the soft hug of nutella chocolate), allowing us to poke and prod to figure things out.
- Lemondrop… finally, on a snowy day (white chocolate), I was greeted by a beautiful bright smile and an exuberant spirit (lemon drops) when she was ready to be on her way.
- … we have a lot to learn from our patient’s transparency, resilience, and energy. Furthermore, it goes to show that life really is better dipped in chocolate!
- With love,
