A Circle of Gratitude

A patient coded three times in one shift and each time she came back she asked for the same

nurse. Not me, not the doctor, just Sarah from night shift.

We all thought it was random until the fourth time when she grabbed Sarah's hand and

whispered something that made Sarah go completely pale. Turns out twenty years ago Sarah's

mom was a nurse here and saved this woman's daughter during a house fire. The daughter grew

up and became our patient. She spent two decades searching for the angel who rescued

her just to say thank you before she let go. Sarah held her hand through that final

moment. Sometimes the people we save come back to save us in ways we never expect.
