Thanks Elsa. I just focused on David, but twelve of us are gone now. I loved every one of them.

Grief - a low payment for love, one of greatest wealths we can experience. 12 loves. 12 griefs. But there is remembrance, a way of keeping alive those we have loved and continue to love. These are the words that came to mind.

I am moved by the actions and spirit of the team of doctors in your class. The work that you and your class members have done and are doing definitely improve the world and the field of medicine. Thank you for sharing this, Bill!

It is great to hear from you, Carol. Of course, I did not realize it at the time, but it was an honor and privilege to be among them. Best of all, if there is any pretension in the group, I have not seen it.
