I've been a nurse for 19 years, most of them in elder care at St. Anne's General Hospital in Springfield. Night shifts taught me patience, and patients taught me everything else.
I carry a notebook everywhere. Small things matter when someone is frightened.
It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.

What gifts mean to Gerardo: I'd put gifts toward a training course in palliative care.
