i had the pleasure of spending my 12 hr shift today with a wonderfully funny older gentleman, who (sadly) suffers from severe copd and leukemia.
he is waiting for a place in palliative care.
in talking about stay at home moms (his daughter is one) he says:
"i think that's the way it should be. call me old-fashioned or traditional but a child needs their mother...at least for the formative years...every animal learns from its parents. if a baby fox was raised by a wolf, it wouldn't be a fox."
he also gave me one of the nicest compliments i've ever received:
"i wish i was going to be around when you're finally a nurse...you're going to be a great one. i'm sure of it."
(thanks mr. w...you will surely be missed)
