We carry stories, goals, and the silent hopes of families โ session after session, case after case.
We write reports late at night, stay up thinking about therapy plans and progress reports, and sometimes give so much of ourselves that we have nothing left for our own families.
Yet stillโฆ we show up.
We advocate.
We fight for voices that are not always heard โ even when our own feels tired.
To every SLP reading this:
You are not just a therapist.
You are a bridge โ connecting families to hope, to understanding, to progress.
Even with your limitations, you chose to lift up others.
That takes courage.
Kahit medyo naiiyak ako writing this, Happy World Speech-Language Pathology Day!
May you remember to save a little of the compassion you giveโฆ for yourself, too. ๐
(P. S. Happy Birthday to my dad! - the one who pushes me to show up but shows me that rest is helpful too)
