STOLEN MOMENTS

Nancy's Notes 🖊️🎶

She paused at the approach to Cabin 1-8, one foot resting on the first step. Her days were always rough but today had been more difficult than usual. She lost one of her patients today; of course as a nurse it had happened to her before but it’s something she never got used to.

She took a deep breath and walked up the remaining steps to the front door. She could hear the radio playing “Apple Blossom Time” by the Andrews Sisters. She smiled at the thought of dancing in the living room in his warm embrace.

Before her hand could turn the knob, the door opened. He smiled and drew her into his arms, kissing her deeply. They both knew at some point the doctors would realize he had regained his memory and vision; he would be able to return home but for now they would take whatever comfort they could find in each other’s arms.

He locked the door and they ran upstairs to his bedroom – unhappy thoughts of their own spouses rapidly fading from their minds. All that mattered to them was today and these stolen moments together. Tomorrow would come soon enough.

  3. Oh no, I”m not sure if I should feel happy for their time together. They say patients falling in love with their doctors and nurses is very common. I don’t remember who told me this but I guess part of that is that here is this one person who cares for you 100% and they are doing everything to make sure you get better. That causes people to get the wrong idea.

    1. There are so many reasons that bring people together, too many to count. Is it wrong? Possibly, but who are we to judge? None of us is perfect and in the end, the heart wants what the heart wants. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for the reblog; greatly appreciated.
