This episode started as an expression of my realization that I’m about to start my career as a nurse… which means that I’m getting ready to see sickness, pain, and suffering every day. As much as I’m preparing myself to encounter these aspects of life, I’ve also remembered that I’m not at all alone in seeing them. With fires devastating families in California, shootings in neighborhoods we’ve been to and know friends in, and all the other tragedies we hear of (and perhaps experience), today I just hope you don’t feel alone where you are. Thanks for listening, my friend!
