For most of last month, there was a bed I always stopped at on my morning rounds, I continued stopping there, until he finally left the hospital. Initially it was for his sake, then it became mostly all for mine. There was something about this great person that I needed, to keep me going for the day. He did not need say much, it was just his smile, and his circumstance, and the bravery that put these together in the grimmest of places.
