This touched me deeply. “Hospitals look different at night” is such a powerful opening because it captures how loneliness and humanity become more visible in silence. The line, “Didn’t want to miss the morning… just in case,” stayed with me long after reading.
What you wrote about presence is beautiful, that some kindnesses aren’t meant to fix pain, only to make sure no one carries it alone. In a world so focused on solutions, reminders like this feel sacred.
Thank you for sharing something so gentle, honest, and profoundly human. It reminds me that sometimes the greatest act of love is simply staying.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful response. I loved that you read it so deeply and it resonated. These types of comments keep so motivated to keep writing. I appreciate you restack too! Glad we are connected :)

A beautiful invitation Maria, thank you 🙏 I find that if I can extend this kindness to myself it comes naturally to extend it to others. 🙂
Thank you for reading Peter, that means so much to me :) I appreciate your thoughtful comment.
