I only nursed for one week after my dad died and couldn't handle the stress.

She's a very sweet person and I'm sure she'd love to help. She actually looked into donating to a hospital, but there were so many rules that it made it extremely difficult. Let me know. I thought you looked sad today too. I hope you are doing okay. Please know I still think about you everyday and even though life is going on all around you - we have NOT forgotten.
