I enjoyed tv’s Angels in my teens – since when I’ve thought of nurses generally by that epithet. My eighty-five year old Dad is in their long-term care in hospital at present, and a recipient of their goodness, together with that of many of their cheerful and hard-working colleagues.
The experience of visiting loved ones (or anyone) in hospital is enhanced immeasurably when there’s obvious, visible ‘connection’ between carers and the cared for.
Today I want to note enormous appreciation for those whose care for my parents, family, me and mine makes a world of a difference. I appreciate it being a part of their daily routine, time and again, with whoever is before them. Not for a moment an easy profession, but the cheery ‘it’s lovely to see you looking your old self again’ echoes … in hearts. Thank you to the ‘angels’.

Unselfish dedication is all I have ever encountered from the nursing profession starting with my “Florence Nightingale” trained Aunt to my modern day ‘Sister’ niece and sixty years working in and visiting hospitals. They are truly ‘Angels’ and totally unaware of it.

My daughter-in-law is a nurse on the cardiac care floor. Her gentle touch, unending patience and compassion are all hallmarks of these angels on earth…xx
