I've been a nurse for 27 years, most of them in palliative care at Gulu General Hospital in Gulu. Night shifts taught me patience, and patients taught me everything else.
The thing I'm proudest of is that families usually remember my name. I paint watercolors of whatever is outside the window.
It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.

I still get cards from families years later. They're pinned to my fridge.
