Mond: … <- That thing right there! I appreciate those silent moments we share together. Be it the quick pause after momentarily running out of words, the longer ones when the topic is proving to be challenging and/or the brain is just not working right. Sometimes it’s just nice to stare and not really say much or anything at all, sometimes one or both of us is occupied with something else, sometimes one or both of us are asleep but somehow still feel connected. I never have thought that feeling would be possible. At first I thought it was about the stares but it somehow still feels really good when I close my eyes and even when fully asleep and unconscious. Just how does that exactly? Or at all!? It’s still a mystical feeling for me but it’s nice. Isn’t it? ...

Eca: Thank you for finding ways to make my work easier and better whether it’s related to studies, work or just a personal hobby. I’m always amazed by how you apply your technical skills, knowledge and expertise in solving real-life situations, improve workflow efficiency, or even just to make work more fun or spice things up and make it more interesting. You’re always ready to lend a helping hand to your family, me, friends, church whenever we need your technical support. Never have I seen or heard you complain or ask for anything in return. You’re such a wonderful blessing to everyone around you. I can’t thank you enough for helping me throughout this time. You’re the best, boo! ...

Mond: I really appreciate the connection we share. I’m always amazed how we’re able to connect and talk about anything and everything–whether it’s the little everyday moments, random arguments about the strange topics, or even the thoughts and emotions that feels really difficult to voice out aloud. I like how even in the most challenging situations we’re able to make each other feel heard and valued. Whether it’s the silly little things or the deep philosophical discussions, I always feel lighter, brighter and just better for having shared those moments with you. ...

Mond: I really appreciate your infectious fan-mode energy! I love how your eyes sparkle when you see good in people. From friends, family, me, to random amazing people you encounter on your everyday life. I love how genuinely appreciative you are of even just little things(I just need to repeat that this is such a good idea btw) people do for you and others. I love how you believe, support and cheer for people around your life, especially in times of need. It’s such a treat to be able to soak in all this energy from you. ...

Mond: I always enjoy our regular after-work chit-chats. I admire how you deal with everything from petty staff dramas, navigating through all the red tapes from DOH, toxic patient admissions and the never-boring oddball patient interactions. I love how at the end of a long day’s work you still have time and patience for our sessions. You’re the best, Doc! Eca: Thank you for always initiating and taking the role of facilitating difficult conversations in our relationship. I admire how you navigate through these difficult conversations while remaining open, calm, kind, respectful, and empathic. Your utmost patience and understanding especially during these times is much appreciated. ...
