Oui, c'est tu.

My walk to and from the gym brings me through the Georgetown hospital campus. In the mornings, there are angry, busy doctors being followed by earnest young medical students in short white coats.

I remember when Alexis used to have two short coats - one dirty and one dirtier...covered in sweat and blood and vomit and pen. Now I see her (when I'm lucky) swooping along the corridors, having donned the now clean, long coat to play nice with the other doctors. It brings a smile to my heart.

Oui, c'est tu.

It's always been you.
