My friend Merla passed away yesterday. She was one of my absolute favorite patients before I quit my other job last spring. After that, since she was no longer my patient, she was my friend. She had a long battle with Parkinson's- which in my opinion she fought bravely. I always felt like she is very much what I hope to be like when I'm older- super sweet and tender-hearted, but a strong woman who knows that she deserves the best in life, and won't accept anything less. It was a privilege to have known her, and I will miss her. She's on to better things though, and for that I am so happy for her.
