I have a pounce in my step as I walk to the hospital. With a coffee in hand, I feel like this day is going to be awesome. And maybe it's going to be awesome too because I have a surgery planned with a patient who has a beautiful brain tumor.

I walk through the entrance, scanning my badge as I adjust my bag on my shoulder. I have the feeling this is going to be an amazing day. As I make my way to the main hall where the surgery rotation board is placed, hoping that my procedure is planned after lunch, so that I don't have to wait too long until lunch, it's fries day today!

I arrive at the board, as I hear a fammilear voice. This can't be. Is it really you? I could recognise that voice in a million. I turn to you, as you are talking to a nurse when our eyes lock. A goofy grin appears on your face as you walk towards me, smiling warmly. "Dr Shepherd, I was hoping I'd bump into you before my surgery!" You come closer and trap me in a warm hug, one that I grew fammliar with a long time ago. It feels just like old times, when we were still young and naïve. "Long time no see, my friend..." I murmur softly as I look at you, tears of emotion in my eyes.
