No-one is beneath anyone else. I have had times when I have been in hospital and have been grateful beyond measure to the nurses who have helped me. I was once on a geriatric ward (don't ask) and when the doctors did their rounds, almost all of the patients were left in a state of distress. It was the nurses that did the healing - that went round to reassure and CARE for them. I always felt they should be paid more than the consultant doctors: they sure seemed to work harder.

How can any of us know the whole of who someone else is? I have a hard enough time working out who i am. But I can tell you that you are a writer, and you are kind. And you are enough. And you matter.

I hope you are OK Devon. And I hope you find yourself swimming happily in safe seas. A🙏💚
