Fragments of words
Pieces of sentences
Floating back and forth
Darting across the room
Punctuated by hugs and OMG!!
“I know you but tell me your name!!”
“We haven’t seen each other for 50 years!”
“Do you remember when....who...how......?”
50 years gone in an instant
Flashbacks to starched aprons and nurses caps
Curfews and how to break curfews
Word fragments flew
Sentences sections darted and danced.
52 nurses pushed the years aside in our joy
Mindful of the many friendships formed in our youth.
“There are friends, and then there are “nursing friends.”
~ by Ani Burr, RN, from the blog Scrubs
