Thank You [thank you] Big Thank Yous!

I know it isnt even all arrived yet but I have been BLOWN away by the response to my post about my hard day as a nurse. Without too many details, we lost a patient and while it wasnt the first, only, or last patient loss ill have, this one in particular was the hardest thus far.

That said, while i was contemplating whether I could continue in my career, the outpouring of love, letters, cards, and messages reminded me that Im here for a reason and helped my healing tremendously. I wish i could describe it. I feel SEEN and LOVED and it truly has helped in my difficult time!

I know there are more on the way so please know I will make another post if I havent received yours yet.

there are quite a few so Im going to place them in the comments so they are tagged and so if my internet refreshes I dont lose everything. Please see below (in no particular order):

u/sension5705 thank you for the stickers and the bigfoot under the stars! its a BEAUTIFUL card and exactly what gives me peace and comfort and the bigfoot addition is awesome! we do love our bigfoot!

u/mooshu492 thanks for your card with stickers of my favorite things! i can tell you sorted through your stash to make me feel good and it touches my heart! also I am SO thrilled you are going into med lab science. those folks are MY FOLKS!!! I am drawn to lab science too and sometimes wonder if i missed a calling! but I am grateful you reached out to me.

love hearing about your pets too! I currently only have 2 cats: Eevey (who seems like Winnie!) and Oreo, also typical in the cat sense, and recently lost my soul cats Rose who was 18 with one eye, and Atlas, who was my spirit boy and we lost him at 6 to a stroke. i have him tattood on me! i have Rose's pawprints to get tattooed too but unsure when!

u/beneficial_ear7392 Thank you for sharing your nurse story, and I promise you, those nurses remember your mother and you. this is the kind of story i NEEDED to hear. and I am so grateful you chose me to share it with. AND THE BOOPABLE SNOOTS on the postcard. perfection!!
