My dear Anika,

Happy, Happy 40th Birthday!

You were heaven sent to me.  God put you in my life so that I would get to know you and what kind of person you are.  God meant you to meet me.  Our Amelia Lane brought us together.  I don't think that's wrong at all.  Your heart is filled with compassion for your patients that some other physician's lack.  Anika you were there from the beginning.  And your presence was there till the end.  The end being so unexpected.  I remember when you came into triage, I was so happy to see your face but we all 3 new what was going on.  Amelia Lane Gerber decided that it was time for her to join her big brother out there,  I'm grateful that you are my physician Anika and the fact that we can get Elaine in on some issues that maybe complicated.  I leave my trust in God and to you wonderful ladies.  One thing was true, you promised my husband that you were going to take care of me.  It was so true.  I was well taken care of by my doctor's, nurses, anesthesiologist (the temporary amnesia was great, I woud like to have that for at least 1 year please, LOL!)

I'm hoping to celebrate our birthdays when you get back.  Maybe that weekend in LA that we discussed.  When you're not on call.  Hoping to hang out, relax and have a few laughs.

God bless you!  Peace, love and happiness to you forever!
