Giggles and Tears

Get em' while you can:

The problem with living with my mother is that she really cares about her work. She loves every single one of her patients (Refers to them as her children). This makes her one of the best nurses you can imagine to have, but it also means that she's got over 300 children who are critically ill. And it means that it is to her, in some way, like losing a child everytime one of them inevitably dies. She's one of the most wonderful people I think I realistically know, but my god, How can you work in that kind of environment and not distance yourself from them? I guess it's more beneficial for them that she doesn't.

I can imagine getting passionate about my work, but not emotionally involved in it like that. But I guess it's not her work for her, for all the complaining about it she does, It's her life, and she loves it. If she didn't care for those people the way she does, she wouldn't be there at 6 am working hours before anyone else gets to the hospital, and leaving well after the sun sets again.

So there's my mother for you.

She is a wonderful person. It is people like her that truly make a difference in her patient's lives.

AND she takes such good care of my Sandi!
So for that, I am forever grateful.
