Hey Christopher Gilchrist it’s me your favorite nurse wanting to tell you a few things. I had always enjoyed our conversations about just anything and everything. You were always so passionate about what was on your mind. I saw greatness in that. And yes you were a very talented poet. Though I could not keep the one you wrote I have not forgotten the words. I had much faith in you and believed in you. And many times told you those very words. I’m so sorry you felt the need to leave the very ones who loved you most. I can only hope that what you have found is more beautiful than here. You will forever be missed Christopher Gilchrist! 
Safe home my friend, your favorite nurse.
