This week marks the final days of our Physio's career. She is retiring on Friday after over 30 years of treating our area's kids. I can't imagine the changes she has witnessed in her time, and the number of children she has seen arrive, grow, and succeed; each in their own way.
Andree has been with us for almost 5 years. To say I am sad about losing her is a huge understatement. Summer and I are fond of her both as an expert and also as a friend.
We have experienced many joyful moments together. Andree was present for Summer's first steps and many firsts for words and actions. I respect and admire her and she has taught me so much over the years. We've spent lots of time together in therapy sessions with Summer and at the orthopedic clinic. She has a keen eye and often picks up on nuances that are missed by me.
I explained to Summer that we will have a new physio because Andree is going to be a full-time Grandma, and I think she understands. We are fortunate to know our new physio through family activities and the transition will be seamless.
Andree, I know you will read this, I thank you, for your hands have guided us, literally and metaphorically, and we will miss you greatly.
