I wish things had been different but that's not how it works. He's been a wonderful big brother when we were children, he protected me and I'll mourn for him the rest of my life π

Me: What kind of work do you do?
Patient: I work at a homeless youth shelter.
Me: Thatβs cool. Remind me to tell you something awesome when weβre done.
(Later.)
Me: Youβre doing important work. And sometimes, those youth grow up and become docs.
Patient: π
Me: π
@MdSheryl I do feel that. π’ I'm a doc working in forensic pathology after a childhood of violance with addicted parents and brothers and losing one brother to addiction. Sat on the streets when I was afraid of going home when I was young.
@hOooooOooozier Hey, I had a really rough time the last months but it's getting better and I had a great evening. Went to see a comedy show. How are you?
@hOooooOooozier I'm often feeling similar. English isn't my first language, too. I'd love to interact more with people but I'm scared to do it wrong, to annoy ppl or hurt them when I'm too busy to reply. It's understandable and you're doing great.
@EverWylder I can totally relate! You don't have to know every detail of every aspect of every timeline to be a true Star Trek fan. Feeling at home is all that matters ππ
@sidcityonline Oh no, next weekend I have on call duty π Hopefully it stays quiet and I'll be able to participate. Don't want to make the impression that the newbie only wanted to talk to Sid once and doesn't care about the community. I want to get to know all of you great people π
@SpeakerDark Do what is best for you. I've been in a similar situation and I decided not to go to the funeral. Instead, I got a tattoo as a reminder of my loved one to always carry him with me. I know other people who decided to go. Both is fine, it is your grief. Take care of yourself π«
