“Thank
You”
I was
raised to believe that thank you letters are polite. As an adult, I have
learned just how incredibly important and meaningful they can be.
When
I first received a thank you letter from a client, it was for a euthanasia I
had done. This was an unexpected but lovely gesture and it’s nice to know
that the care and comfort we attempt to provide is received and
appreciated. I was told at the time that these thank you letters are
likely the only ones I would receive in my career. They are the most
common, but I have also received many thank you letters from clients who’s pets
are still with us. The words that are shared with every letter are
immeasurable in their kindness and inspiration. I have cherished, and saved,
each and every one.
