This week Lia tried to bite me, scratch me, and blow raspberries in my face. This week she also gave me lots of hugs, laughed at my jokes, blew me kisses, and cried when I had to leave at the end of my shift. On Monday I’ll go back for more. Good Lord willing, I’ll go back the week after that, and the week after that, and so on.

There are those who believe Nursing is a thankless vocation, I disagree. While there can be challenges, a lot of challenges, the rewards are immeasurable.

I am happy to be a Nurse this week, and every week.
