email that makes my day as a dietitian

today received an email from a parent of one of my Gene patient....
she's a Yaman girl, her father came to USM to further his study and was referred to me for diet counselling.. a tough case as the Gene specialist is a tough cookie also..huhu


anyway,a bond was built between her parents and me as I had to see then freq'ly....and the pt is soooo cute...really loves her sweet smile...but since past year I havent seen or heard from them after her parents went back to yaman to do Haj last yr..and suddenly today got an email from her mum..sending pix of my lil sweet pt....

it just touched my heart as she still remembers me n kept me updated of her girl eventhough I have not been treating her for a while...and the phrases " thanks for helping us during our hard times" just makes me sooo touched bcause I have been only doing my job and the help I gave was not that much....

PS; these lil token of appreciation from parents once a while that makes me feels my job is such a great job and thanks to Allah for giving me such opportunities to help others in need....
