She always makes me smile

Yesterday I had a 12 hour shift at my nursing placement. M asked me the day before if I had to do normal shift hours at a weekend. My reply was there is no such thing as weekends in nursing. Unfortunately it means that I do not see B much and that is hard and I feel guilty for it. I know she will be lying awake waiting for me to come home before going to sleep so I try and get my handovers done first so I can get home quickly.

Last night I got home and walked into her room. She got all excited about something, doing her semi-screech that she does and knocking everything off her bedside table with her ataxic hands trying to find something.

Then she found it and it was this:


If you cannot read it, it says " To mummy, well done for working so hard love Beth"
and she had bought me a costume ring from the shops too.

It made me well up and showed me she doesn't hold it against me for the things I have to do which take me away from her.

Love her
