She Sat With Me All Night

I am not going to put my name to this because it is private. I was a patient on the ward when Kathleen was the night sister, and I was in a very bad place, not medically but otherwise. I was frightened and I wasn't coping and she saw it. She sat with me for almost an hour in the middle of the night when she had a ward to run. She did not say anything particularly profound. She just stayed. I have never forgotten it.
