This is my mother’s fingerprint

September 16, 2017

“I am in nursing school. I graduate in May 2019. I want to be a nurse because my mother died in 2015. She was in the hospital for 13 days and had one nurse who loved my mother and my mother loved her. After my mom died I found the nurse on Facebook and told her how much we appreciated what she did for my mother. I want to be that person for someone else. My mom had a lung disease and we didn’t know she had it. She went to the emergency room because she was having trouble breathing and they admitted her that night. Those were the worst 13 days of my life. She had just turned 55. This is her fingerprint and the other is of my Papa, her dad, who died last year. I read this somewhere, ‘she was there when I took my first breath and I was there when she took her last’.”
