I see you for all that you are. I know that God assigned you to us that scary night that we found out L had a massive brain tumor, an impossible location and we had endless questions that were met with no good answers from the doctors. You cared for my sweet girl like she was your own child, even though we just met minutes prior. You cared for me and my husband and made us beds with fresh linen to make sure we were comfortable, as comfortable as you get with a diagnosis like this. This is something I have done for many families in the past, but never imagined someone doing for me. I could feel your heart and love for what you do the minute you walked through the door. You never rushed when in our room and made us feel like we were your only priority. I know the job too well. I know we weren't your only patients and the others were more than likely in acutely worse shape than we were. But we never once felt like that. Weekend. Nightshift nurse. Just like me. Running on fumes but we would have never guessed it by the amazing care we received. Everyone else watched me with concerned eyes. Wondering when is this mom going to lose it, doesn't she realize the hand she was dealt? But not you. You gave me space to mourn my old life and guided me through my feelings about our new life. You looked at me with knowing eyes, met with compassion and understanding. Gave me grace and also told me it is okay to feel this. You never stopped. You stopped in our room even when you weren't on shift. Swung by to offer prayers and coffee, both desperately needed. We have a bond that will forever be special between us. I kept a notebook when I was in the hospital and wrote your name with words describing you. It reads; compassionate, kindness, calming, empathetic, knowledgeable. I know this world is crazy and I know all too well the demands that go beyond those hospital walls. But I truly thank God for you every day. You have been a beacon of light through this and continue to be. I know the ICU life too well and it can be hard on the soul. I just want you to know I see you, and I felt the amazing nursing care. And now I feel the amazing friendship. We are blessed that God assigned you to our family.
