Title: Here's to You Robert!
Post by: kimcanada on November 17, 2008, 04:18:29 PM: Well today was Robert's last day at my dialysis unit.

I go to a new unit that opened a little over 2 years ago, there is 20 of us that go there....

Robert is one of us, when I first started back in 2006 in May, I thought I would be the first person in our new unit to get a transplant, I was wrong... today was Roberts last day, he is heading to Halifax Wednesday to get a transplant on Thursday. Robert is in his early 50's I am thinking and a sweety, he is one of my favs ( I call him ma boyfriend)

Today when he was saying his good-byes we were all crying, me , the nurses and even Robert. He said to me... Kim I wish you were coming with me... even in HIS moment, Robert thinks of others...

If you think of it this Thursday, please say a prayer for my boyfriend... Robert.
