Dedication Beyond Compare

Dear doctors and nurses,

Thank you for choosing to do what you do.
Because of this choice, you’ve missed lunch.
Because of this choice, you work crazy hours.
Because of this choice, you put yourself under immense stress.
Because of this choice, you bear the weight of worried parents.
Because of this choice, you trade personal time for patient time.
Because of this choice, fragile babies and weak children may live better.
Because of this choice, one life gets a chance to change many more.
Because of this choice, Vera received the best care possible,
regardless of her death-sentence diagnosis.
Because of this choice, you’ve given her a smile to melt her parents’ heart,
and a button to help her grow.

To the OT, CICU, cranial facial and paediatric surgery team at KK Hospital,
thank you for playing a part in Vera’s well-being.

What a beautiful tribute to those wonderful people who are loving and caring for your precious Vera.

I am a friend of Cathy and Annabel and wanted you to know that I am praying for your sweet girl. She is an amazing fighter and I am glad to see that she is making such great progress!
