For the very first time in my life, at least someone heard my heart crying for help. I immediately connected with her, because she genuinely cared.
She is always in the best mood and good attitude. The first time I met Barbarah, I was sitting on the floor in one corner of the Day Room. Miss Bab came to me and sat right next to me on the floor. She introduced herself in a very calm voice and respectful way and apologized for being in my space. I was in that corner for over an hour and nobody came to ask me if I needed help. Miss Bab's voice was so irresistible, I looked to see who this nurse was. She said to me she was feeling sad because I was sad. It made me sad when she said she was sad for me. I felt cared for. For the very first time in my life, at least someone heard my heart crying for help. I immediately connected with her, because she genuinely cared. I was feeling very suicidal that day, I just wanted to end it all. But, because of my connection to Miss Bab, I changed my mind. She gave me hope to fight on. Nurse Bab, thank you for putting me together every time I fell apart. You gave me what I needed to keep going. You told me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear. I will never forget you for saving my life that day. Now I am working on receiving care. You are the best and my favorite nurse. I love you so much. You deserve a raise for caring for everybody with the same compassion
