This post made me think about the #kindness we experienced at @UHN Toronto Western when my mother passed. Some small, some big acts, and all meant a lot. Thank you for being there when we needed you.

[Claire Snyman @clairehsnyman]

This. For me as a patient, #kindness and the small things often make the biggest difference in my #Patientexperience. Human connection as well. ❤️

@terrencewkho @torranceho A beautiful way to remember your Mom, Terrence. I remember my Mom by looking at old photographs and videos of her dancing to evoke good memories. Thinking of you and my condolences for the loss of your family member.
