She listened to my words with compassion. Most of all, she treated me with dignity.
I was sent to your emergency room in June 2022 for medical testing. I was suicidal grieving the loss of my wife and personal problems. I felt that God had taken away his love from me. Everyone dealing with me was cold and systematic. Until one of your nurses named Nicole introduced herself as my nurse. Nicole was half my age with the wisdom of an angel. She spoke to me with a gentle voice of care and concern. She listened to my words with compassion. Most of all, she treated me with dignity. Simply put, Nicole reminded me that God's love was still with me. Her words spoken at that moment made me realize that there are still loving people on Earth, giving me a reason to LIVE. Nicole is an extraordinary, extraordinary, extraordinary human person well beyond her years. I knew right then and there, that God delivered it through her. Nicole is not a time clock nurse. She is a human person who really cares about people. She made a difference. I'm alive today because of her. Just like everyone knows what a smile and hug means, like music, it's universal. So is God’s love. It all comes from God in different forms and shapes. Thank You Nicole, my life-saving ANGEL.
