In my other life I used to have an awesome job...I LOVED my job..truly truly loved it. I read a quote a while ago that said " do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life" and I honestly can say that that is true. Before I was a mom I worked for this guy (isnt he cute??) as his medical assistant for about five years. It was probably one of the biggest sacrifices I have ever made giving up that job to stay home with my girls (I dont regret it for a minute) but I do miss it....ALOT.
Dr. Lewis is one of those people in my life who is in the top five that has made the biggest impact on me and my life. He was an AMAZING boss and is plain flat one of the best people I have ever known. He is one of my favorite people in the whole world. He is one of the most intelligent people I have ever met but is also the most down to earth and never makes people feel like he is better than anyone else. He is super trustworthy. He has the biggest heart and the kindest eyes I have ever seen. He gave me confidence in myself when I had very little. He told me I was awesome almost every single day I worked with him and he told me "thank you" every single day I worked with him. every.single.day. That to me is a very big deal because when he said it...he truly meant it. I always felt appreciated and valued and that is SUCH a big deal...or at least it was to me anyway. We were a good team and it was hard to give that up...he helped me through one of the worst and darkest times in my life and I dont think I could have gotten through it without him...i really really dont. I miss talking with him every day and even though we still stay in touch...its not the same as spending 8 to 10 hours a day five days a week with someone. He is truly one of the kindest, genuine, and most compassionate people you will ever meet and I am a better person for knowing him.
ANYWAY....Last week I had the opportunity to work with him for a couple of days just to fill in (thank you so much Jan (my other boss) for watching ALL FOUR of my girls for me!!!) and soooo many memories flooded back for me, the smells of the office, the patients, the sounds, I know I am sounding totally corny right now but it made me so nostalgic. It was a super fun two days and I will be so thankful for the opportunity....and you wanna know something amazing?? At the end of each day he still said "thank you"....some things never change...sure made me smile!
