Beautiful picture! I am sure your patient and his or her family appreciated the kindness and compassion you shared with them during his or her time with you. I was just adding a joy of rain to my gift journal as well! Great minds think alike!
ReplyDeleteOh Shay, I had no idea of what k ind of nursing you did until I just read this. My dad is in the Alzheimer's unit at the Masonic Village in E lizabethtown. I know personally how horrible dementia is, and so appreciate the medical staff that tends to him. I hope your patient's family appreciates you :). On a different note...I wanted to send you an email message so you could have my email address to let me know if you are ever down in the Philly area (or WANT to come to take photos)...or so that I could contact you if/when I'm up in Lancaster. But I couldn't find an email address for you on your information. So here's mine... kmcblackburn@gmail.com
