I invested some time with Mother recently and drove her to the hospital to visit with her sick sister-in-law, my aunt. While I was standing in the doorway, a nurse came by and introduced herself as Ruth and said "hello" to us and said "hello" to my aunt. This put a smile on my aunts face. The nurse then introduced me to the other nurses working at the nurses station. She let me know that these nurses are hard working and great at their jobs.

I couldnt agree with her more. Theirs is a very difficult job with no margin for mistake. In many situations they know and understand the patients better than the doctors.

Realizing this, and noticing that some of the nurses looked a little tired, I asked Ruth to bring out all the nurses she had introduced me to at the nurses station. I reintroduced myself and explained that my aunt was the patient in room 518. Then I said the following:

"I would like to thank you for grasping care of my aunt. I personally appreciate the way you make her relaxed during this difficult measure , and I know that my aunt is in great hands. My family, and especially my uncle, appreciates the hard work and care you put into creating her better. Thank you again and keep doing what you are doing to build a difference with not only my family, but other families
