I thought that Maria was an angel who was dropped by God to appease my husband and me while in a very traumatic situation.
My husband was at the hospital after heart surgery and was too shy and timid to request any help from the nurses when he was first brought to floor. So when I first came to visit I had several requests to make to the nurse of the day who was on break - Maria just happened to walk by and she said, may I help you, and she had the friendliest smile and loving tone in her voice. I was still so impatient and blurted out a series of needs and questions about my husband's care while there for the past 3 hours. Maria did not show any anger or regret for passing by and was very professional in handling my unpleasant behavior. I thought that she was an angel who was dropped by God to appease my husband and me while in a very traumatic situation. Thank you Maria for being so kind and generous with your smile.
