This wonderful woman washed my hair and my body, wrapped me in a blanket, and held me while I sobbed.
I want to send the biggest thank you to Heather who is the best RN and friend anyone could ask for. I came to the ER and I warned Heather not to get too close since I hadn’t showered or brushed my teeth in over a week. This didn’t matter at all to her and she wrapped me in the biggest bear hug, stroked my hair, and kissed my nasty forehead as I sobbed. As if this wasn’t kind enough, Heather came into the hospital the next day on her day off to care for me. She brought me a bag full of stuff and told me she was going to give me a shower. This wonderful woman washed my hair and my body, wrapped me in a blanket, and held me while I sobbed. Heather, thank you from the bottom of my heart, I don’t know if I would have made it out of there since my husband recently passed and I had lost my will to live. Heather’s kind compassion had helped me get back my will to live.
