Sitting on the floor of A Ward with on girl laying in my lap teaching me words in Malagache, one little girl handing me countless Dora matching cards (seriously that Dora is everywhere) and one kid reading my badge and repeating “Kristin Jack” over and over again, leaving A ward with a full and happy heart
Seeing the patient I picked up from the airport last week and seeing how happy she looks… No more traumatized and pained look just a normal happy little girl
Marta inviting me to the ICU and getting to meet Sambany and watch as he saw himself in the mirror without the tumor.
