I Have The Grill Fired Already, Want A Hot Dog? You Are A Nurse And Keep Going. Thank You!

By A Friend • July 3, 2025

My next door neighbor is an RN and has been pushing herself for years, 12 hour shifts and overtime to be present. Recently, she took in her sister and niece to help them get out of an abusive relationship.

My partner and I do what we can to help her (ex. cleaning her gutters, mowing the lawn in summer, shoveling in winter and such).

I had just fired up the grill earlier and her sister was out back with the doggos. I asked if she had had dinner yet. Met with a "no," -- so hot dogs, grilled asparagus and taters were delivered.

My partner (a carpenter) built a swing set for his niece and nephew when they visit, and now it’s enjoyed by the little girl. With a swing for her “baby.”

We have agreed to a time to play in the sprinkler tomorrow while I weed. I can’t wait.
