By the time you finish your twelve hour shifts it will have been two days since you spent time with your infant daughter. As badly as I miss being able to work, I know how wrong that feels. I know that sometimes walking through those doors just seems wrong, period.
Dedicate one of those days to me.
I still believe that the depth that we value life and all the good in it, is the depth we will mine our heart, nerve and sinew to give that second chance. What you give matters.
In fact I believe it makes us who we are, and is what matters most.

You constantly amaze me, move me, and make me feel so incredibly lucky to have you in my world.
Blessings...

Debbie, you are wise. I'm privileged to know you and call you my friend.
Nurses are angels in the flesh
Who come to Earth to ease the hurt
Provide comfort by your side
Fill you with warmth as you say good-bye.
Over the years, I have met some incredible nurses, Deb...and yes, you are one of them.
This is so true...
Back quite a few years ago, when in intensive care, it wasn't the Doctors who gave hope, relief, caring, etc's - it was the nurses. When I left, though I *so* wanted to go home, I cried when I said Good-bye to them, truly, I have no idea what I'd have done without them. Nurses are special.

when I had chemo and became ill from it the nurses were so kind and knew I was scared to death. They even complimented my looks with no hair. THey were so nice. I wanted to take them all home with me until I recovered. They were angels to me without the wings. God Bless those nurses and all others who put their patients first. Amen
Brilliantly put, dear Deb! :-)
Hugs and blessings - S.
