The Note
As Angela walked through the long bustling corridors of the hospital, she saw all of the patients that needed help and she felt empathy for them. She was taking care of her own patient though, and this boy was important. She had to take care of him and be with him for he was going to die soon.
She walked further in the hallway and it became less busy. ROOM 456. Angela opened the door and went inside as quiet as she could because the young adult was sleeping. A white blanket covered his blue robe that he wore. Wires went to his nose and arms keeping check on him at all times.
She walked over to the tablets checking his vitals and his blood dosage. She cleaned up his food tray and prepared to take it back to the kitchen but when she lifted it, she found a paper.
She opened it and inside found a note. It read; “Sorry, that I was like this guys. I hate myself for leaving you guys. I don’t know why God did this to me but he does everything for a reason, right? I know you’re gonna get that engineer degree you want Joe, and Ana? Get that robotics job you wanted. Do it for me. Mom, Dad? Keep going. Don’t despair, I will see you again, in heaven. I’m so sorry…”
The note ended and the nurse was in tears. She sniffled and folded the paper. She put it on the table and sat there for a minute.
“Can you give that to my parents?” She looked up and saw the teenager looking at her. She wiped her eyes and hugged him.
“Yes, I will give this to them.” Angela whispered trying not to sob. He only had a couple of hours left, according to the doctors.
Angela stayed with to boy till the end. She delivered the note to his family, and they were grateful and read it with many tears. She even attended his funeral.
Angela went from that point on; cherishing every living person and giving her services to them to make sure they were happy.
She did not want to see someone die in front of her like she did with that boy. Never again…
