The day has come and gone. I’m officially done at Hoho and I have every imaginable emotion about it. First off, I’m feeling so incredibly grateful for the family I’ve been lucky to be a part of for the last 6 1/2 years. For my coworkers reading this, I will never be able to thank you enough for what you’ve given me. Each and every one of you has helped me become the therapist that I am today. From my first day pre-grad, feeling like I would never know enough to be the best for my patients, to feeling confident in my skills and maneuvering my way through a respiratory pandemic. We’ve been through so much together throughout the years and I have learned something from every single person I’ve worked with. You’re not only my coworkers, you were family and I’ll carry a piece of each of you with me on this new adventure. I’ll never forget my first home. To those of you I didn’t get to say goodbye to in person, just know I’m grateful to you and my door in Washington will always be open for a visit.

It’s hard to believe that I clocked out for the last time today and when I clock back in, it will be at an entirely new hospital all the way across the country. I think it will take awhile for it to fully sink in, and until then, I’ll enjoy reminiscing on the memories and friendships that Holland Hospital has given me. Even on the worst days, I wouldn’t have changed a thing.
