Dr. Joey's Newsletter - June 2016
June is a special month for me. Summer hits and the Canadian landscape explodes with beauty and fresh clean, warm air. Life seems to be busier than ever with clinics bustling, kids finishing school, packing for camp and most of all... Fathers Day!
To all the dads, granddads, uncles and father figures - this is your special day and your turn to be celebrated. Thank you for all you do...the jokes, words of wisdom, ball games, and laughter. I have filled this newsletter with great gift ideas, recipes and books I hope your dad or husband will love. And to my dad - thank you for teaching us to listen to our gut and believing in us when we didn't. You truly are the best and the 3 of us couldn't love you more.
