Misaki Flores became one of my favorites instantly. She embodies empathy and anticipates needs. We laughed and laughed, all while I was suffering through post-op pain. She made me feel like family as she shared certain experiences at my urging. She always had a smile and a look on her face that let me know whatever it was it was going to be alright. I felt I could trust her with anything. She was always so sweet and took opportunities to teach me. I experienced so much patience and kindness at her hands. Toward the end, I felt like she was family and I didn't want to let her go or that phenomenal smile.
