Doctors Quotes

• I wrote to one of my doctors: I could never have guessed what would get me through this past year - a woodland snail and its offspring; I honestly don't think I would have made it otherwise.

If life mattered to the snail and the snail mattered to me, it meant something in my life mattered, so I kept on...
