Kindle Notes & Highlights
Most people in town call Catalina an ice queen, but everyone has a melting point. I just haven’t found hers yet.
growing up means gaining perspective on our parents and the fact that they’re people too. People who can drive us crazy, but also people who can make mistakes and have flaws just like the rest of us.
Most people assume because I work with babies, I must be the happiest nurse around, but they don’t see the darker side of the job. Managing feeding tubes and respirator devices that support many lives in the unit. Parents breaking down in front of the baby they desperately want to take home, blaming everyone under the sun, including themselves, for medical issues. All the lives I’ve seen snuffed out before they ever had a chance to really live, and the shattering of parents’ hearts as they wanted to die with them.
