Indelible Impression; Indelible is a permanent mark, and there are people who’ve marked us for life. This story is about one such woman.

Why be concerned about a flighty nurse and her struggles? Somehow walking through another’s story not only gives us insight but also gives hope to those who struggle.

the street and doubled over gasping for air. The stubby weeds in the fractured sidewalk smirked
up at her. Great, it’s cracked too. Just like my life! Her gut heaved. Not again. Covering her
mouth she pushed back the threatening bile and stood upright. Not here! Her legs began to
tremble. She looked toward the street where she had parked. I’ll never make it. Elizabeth caught
a whiff of the sweet lilac bushes that draped the fence. She pulled in another breath, deeper this

It’s so hot. Struggling out of her navy sweater she stuffed it into her oversized shoulder
bag with shaky hands. Think. No, not about the hospital! Tugging hard on a lock of hair she
whispered, “I can do this. I can pull myself back together. I can.”
