Ahh Teddy, that was beautiful. I know what you mean. I've seen so many people die, I've cared for so many hours from their deaths. You know what, I'll never let myself get jaded about this. I'm not a religious person, but each death to me is such a awe-inspiring thing. So holy and precious. Then there are the ones who really stick with you, that will probably always leave an impression with me. You know this is the part of nursing that really reminds me why I became a nurse, and strange as it may sound, these are the moments that I love my job the most.

I'm so glad you're a nurse. You'll never know what it meant to that gentleman to have you there with him, caring for him.

A nurse was with my mom and me when mom was dying, back in January. She hugged me, kept me informed, and when my mom was ready to go, sat there with us until mom died. I was so unravelled that I forgot to hold my moms hand, until the nurse took my hand and placed my moms hand in mine. I'm grateful to her....I held my moms hand. Then she passed away. It was the hardest, most precious moment of my life. And that nurse was there. I won't ever forget her.

I'm still trying to figure out how to say thank you and have it sound the way I want it to.

Please don't be too sad. You've done such a wonderful thing. God Bless you.
