I was hospitalized in 1990 after almost two years of sleep deprivation. And the last year doing an internship where five days without sleep common no lie
During my stay there was a young feral street kid named sally extremely shy and prob had no mother so of course she bonded heavily tonthd nurses
Sally used to peek out of her room to watch the nurses and run back when they came around
They were very busy
One day sally wrote one the nurses a note and cautious and slowly hand itbyo her and ran back to her room
The nurse was very busy but went over to her and said
Oh sally I just love my note Tk u do much
Where she out it in her hip pocket and told ssllynit would be with her always
Sally just lit up with a huge smile and ran back to her room
Each time the nurse went by sally no
Matter how busy she would gently tapmher hip pocket where the notevwss and smile
Of course sally about died but loved it
Soon all the nurses are doing it a soft pat on their hip
Pocket let sally know she was loved by the staff
Sally was never happier
