I’m a nurse. I took care of a patient for about two weeks a few years ago. He had a huge family and had lots of people around him day and night. Everyone was so nice and created a very special room around him. One of the last days before he was discharged he asked if I had a minute to talk. He had done that a few times before just to chat, but this time he told me, that he was very happy that I had been around him to take care of him, and just kept telling me how I was a great part of making him feel well, and that he would never forget me.
His condition wasn’t the best, and I’m quite certain he has passed by now, but I still think about him every now and then. For a moment he just made me feel so special. I will never forget him.
I had surgery back in 2015. I spent four days in a high care unit even though I was a routine case. The time was right after the Minions move came out. My husband got me a stuffed Bob that says goofy stuff when you squeeze it. I made every person who came in my room stop and squeeze that toy just to break the tension and get the workers to smile. Nursing is hard and you have to take joy wherever you can get it.
A few years back, I was going through a really tough time. It was a pretty dark phase for me tbh.
During one of those nights, I headed over to my then-girlfriend’s house. We were just hanging out when I decided to take a shower. A couple minutes later she joined me, and we ended up standing there together under the warm water for a while lol. She noticed I was pretty down and offered to wash my hair. So, I sat in the bathtub while she gently washed my hair, and that simple, caring gesture somehow made my life 100x better. It made me feel like I was loved and there was someone helping me keep going.
She ended up cheating, but that’s another story lol
Well, that took a turn!
Haha yeah ik sorry
The time a stranger adopted me and became my mom.
The moment I read this comment is now my answer 😭😭😭
I work in a library and kids are typically pretty cute. I was saying hi to a coworker at the front desk as I was walking by and a kid runs up to her with a stuffed bear in his hands. He then happily introduced himself and his bear to my coworker and says “my bear helps me when I’m nervous and today I’m REALLY nervous so I brought him along!” No clue why. His parents were glowing, they looked so proud of their son. I was about to literally fall over dead from cuteness overload.
