Let’s Hear It For The Nurses

“My first daughter was stillborn. The night I was in labor, my nurse brought all of her paperwork in my room. She stayed with me the entire night while I labored. She only left my room when the other nurses absolutely needed her. They helped by covering for her the majority of the night. She cried with me when my daughter was finally born. She made a box of of my daughter’s things for me. I have that box of keepsakes to this day. A year and a half later, when my daughter, Amelia, was born, as soon as she clocked in she ran to my room to meet her. I’ve never seen this woman before or after (although I had flowers and a card sent to her), but for the rest of my life she will hold a special place in my heart.” – Angela
