and
not ideas
I'm an intern at a
hospital. I work on the cardiology floor. One of the former
nurses on our floor is battling terminal brain cancer. We found
out last week that she doesn't have much more than a few
weeks left. We sell arm bands and water bottles to raise money
for the family.
Today a man came by and bought 2 arm bands for himself and his wife. He handed us 60 dollars and said "keep the change" and walked away. An hour later he returned with a check and said "I'd like to make a donation to this family." I said ok and found out who to write the check out to. I saw him write a "1" and a few zeroes behind it and thought "What a kind man for donating 100 dollars." He handed me the check, and I looked down only to find that it was written for $1000. He said "I hope she gets well soon. Send my best to her and her family." I didn't have the heart to tell him that her prognosis wasn't good.
Today I witnessed a beautiful act of kindness between strangers. The money won't bring her back to us, but the thought that a random person would selflessly give such a large amount of money in order to help out a hurting family is a beautiful thing

she comes off as strong, but maybe she feel asleep crying. she acts like nothing wrong, but maybe shes just really good a lying
I have 17 tabs open that are all playing BSE just to help break
the record
She acts like it's no big deal
She didn't tell me in person,
“I'm going to help you,
Help get through this."
Nobody can see
See my fake smile
Or hear me cry
She just sits there and watches
