Sweet Remarks

I got this from a patient I extensively took care of and grew to really care for,
Attached to a vase of flowers read a card:
"We believe that God sends angels in our time of need. We know that you were that angel He sent to take care of Ron."
I almost cried!
They called me a few days later from home and had me tracked down (I was working in the other ICU) to ask me questions about some symptoms he was having. Of course I couldn't give them medical advice but his wife said she wanted to talk to me because "I knew Ron so well". :) I knew there was a reason I put up with bodily fluids of all natures, disrespect and name calling, stupid people, and overall frequent feelings of frustration.
