Listen to me, darling. I spent decades thinking my worth was measured by how much I could carry for others. I was the backbone, the glue, and the silent listener. But I've learned that you cannot pour from an empty cup. You deserve to be your own person.

You see, back in those days, we had this neighbor, very, very kind woman she was. And she would come by sometimes when things were hard, bringing food and such. But people didn't understand her ways, and she kept mostly to herself, working in her garden all alone.

You see, back in those days, we had this young girl in our community, very, very shy she was. Her mother worked in the fields, and the poor child would sit alone by the fence, watching the other children play. Nobody quite understood why she kept to herself so much.

They thought putting me in this home would silence me, make me disappear like yesterday's newspaper. But they forgot who I am - the woman who raised three children alone, who worked two jobs with pneumonia. I'm not done fighting. They'll learn that soon enough.

I remember when I was just a little girl, about seven or eight years old, there was this lovely old general store on Main Street. The shopkeeper, Mr. Thompson, would always give us children a piece of candy when we'd come in with our mothers. Those were such sweet times.

When I was young, very young, there was this neighbor of ours, a kind woman who lived alone. She would sit on her porch every evening, and the other people in town, they wondered about her, why she never married or went to the social gatherings.

Bless that young waitress's heart, trying to give me advice about my hair color. Sweet thing probably hasn't even hit thirty yet. I just smiled and nodded - she'll learn when she gets to my age that experience matters.

I’ve spent decades by these bedsides, and I tell you, nursing isn’t just about the charts or the medicine. It’s about being there when the lights go dim. If a patient needs a hand to hold, I’m going to hold it, regardless of what the supervisors might say.
