Granny's gone and done it again

To our nurses here:
I have seen pregnant women feel ashamed in the maternity ward because of their lack of hygiene.
And I have seen nurses wash them gently, trim their nails, comb their hair.
I have heard, in simple but profound words, their gratitude:
“My baby will be born clean, thanks to you.”
I have seen a nurse pretend to be the mother of a woman with Alzheimer’s disease.
On her worst days, the patient would ask forgiveness from that mother she no longer recognized — the mother who was no longer alive.
The nurse told her she forgave her. That she loved her.
And in that suspended moment, I saw an embrace that healed — a deep relief before the final goodbye.
I have seen nursing assistants covered in vomit while holding a child’s head during a seizure, just so he wouldn’t feel alone.
I have seen nurses lift patients twice their size, with strong hands and the gentlest care — to wash them, refresh them, restore a fragment of dignity.
I have seen a nurse cradle a stillborn baby.
She bathed her in warm water, washed her tenderly, arranged her hair, dressed her —
so that the mother, who had asked — with pain and with right — to see her daughter, could say goodbye in peace, in beauty, as if she were only sleeping.
I have seen nurses search for a pastor, a priest, a healer — anything that could bring comfort to a patient according to their faith.
I have seen nurses, in emergency rooms where fear lives daily, run toward danger — rushing to the side of a fainting, infected patient to keep them from hitting their head — even at the risk of their own lives.
And I have seen nurses work double shifts, without rest.
Leaving behind their children, partners, families — because care cannot wait.
Because ethics, duty, love… come first.
If there exists a profession more human, more noble, more sacred than nursing,
forgive my ignorance.
But I do not know it.
Let us honor our nurses.

Thank you!
 
Hi peeps, I have been asked to start a new /continued thread here because Grannys got a big mouth and may be responsible for some glitches on BYC .

I have been a member on here for about 3 yrs. and have posted mainly in my own thread. The old thread will not be closed but I do ask my family and any new friends to please post here.

We are a family based thread meaning that the people that post here become very close to each other. We strive to treat each other with respect and kindness. We are for the most part a mature themed group. Lots of cutting up and a little bit about chickens. Hopefully you will find homemade crafts, Gardening tips, home life, a few recipes (not mine , your welcome) Yaks galore, A whole hog-pog of chickens from mutts to high brows. and maybe a goat or two.

To my family, I am sorry I am dragging you around and all our pictures, memory's are stored somewhere else. Hopefully , together , we can begin anew like we were never interrupted.

To any that wish to jump in Welcome to Grannys.
I'm not afraid to call myself a mutt, and my chickens might agree with you.😁
 
Hope everyone had a good day. I spent the day baking and cleaning up the mess I made. Baked cherry cobbler biscuits, pumpkin pie biscuits and chocolate pie.
Sounds so good!
Pa's sweet tooth should be satisfied tonight. Tomorrow I have to clean house!
I don't know, that's a pretty demanding sweet tooth he has, lol!
BBH, have a blessed Sabbath.
Thanks, we did!
Got some rain here this afternoon/ evening and more to come! Yay!
 
69° by bedtime. Cold front that is bringing the rain sneaking in. Possible hail, high winds, and even tornadoes they say. Guess they are covering their basses.
