They called it the healthcare system that cried wolf.
Until they came to us gasping for air.
Until they sought life from a system they mocked for being too broken, too soft, unnecessary.
Until they needed us.
And we did our best to help.
Gentle reminder for all of us during the busy December season ahead.
2025 was filled with new beginnings, difficult losses, and an abundance of gratitude ♡

"Earth is our spacecraft, keeping us all alive in the vacuum of space.
We are in the middle of nowhere.
Completely exposed.
On our own.
We belong to this planet, and we need to do what we can to make life on Earth better."
- Canadian Astronaut David St Jacques #ICEM2025
