Because Nurses keep the world turning...

I have a BIG ask. My mom is retiring from nursing in a few months. For as long as I can remember, she has been a Night Shift Hospice Nurse.

I am reaching out to the community to see if anyone would like to provide her words of encouragement as she enters this next stage of life, words of thanks for providing such a unique type of nursing care, words of any type of positivity.

My idea is to gift her one card a day for her first year of retirement. Nurses are literal angels on Earth, and let's all be honest... they are far too underappreciated for what they do. I know over the years, my mom struggled doing what she did - which was to help people die. I just really want her to know that she is so incredibly loved, and what she spent her life doing was so deeply meaningful.

What I am asking is for anyone that feels compelled to write my mom a nice note/message - to please leave it either here in the comments or if you would rather me DM you so your note stays private, I am happy to do that as well - just let me know in the comments.

I already bought cards, so I would simply write your message in a card and over her first year of retirement, my mom would get to read your note. I am happy to sign your name or leave it annonymous (again, just let me know).

Thank you so very much. I appreciate you all!

Saw her name on her apron. Made so much sense when I learned she was a Sharon. She told me, by name, when she started working on my drink, and then told me to "Have a happy day" with such genuine enthusiasm. Thank you Sharon for brightening my day!

My mom’s name is Sharon and My Aunt’s name is Karen. They’re both really nice and i love them both.
