Because of you
I think about how tired I am and how much my body aches. But then I am reminded of the reward, the lives that are touched, the souls that have second chances, the ones that are healed, and the ones that change my life, and then the ones that have become my friends, the friends…

We all saw her standing
I’m not sure if the birds chirped that morning. I was sleeping. Who heard them? Who knows their song? They carried it till evening. And through the night a whisper was heard, when it was, there she stood. There was no where to sit. The room was loud. She was the only one speaking. Her…

That PICU nurse LIFE
No one can understands what a PICU nurse feels, thinks, and experiences.. that is, besides her PICU coworkers in her moments of true devastation. It’s Pediatric Nurse Week, and some people don’t know what we do, no one seems to know what a PICU is… and my biggest pet peeve – when they confuse PICU…
