Grant held my hand, cheered me on, gave me a shoulder to cry on, and never ever let me give up. He was my voice when I couldn’t speak which was extremely special to me.
My son was born sleeping. As you can imagine it was the hardest day of my life. Our nurse, Grant Sampson was the only reason I was able to get through it. From the moment Grant entered our labor and delivery room, I knew they had selected the right nurse for our situation. Grant came in with led candles and made our room cozy and told us he was going to take care of us the way he’d take care of family. And he sure did. Grant held my hand, cheered me on, gave me a shoulder to cry on, and never ever let me give up. He was my voice when I couldn’t speak which was extremely special to me. He asked my wishes and respected them. When we pressed the call bell, Grant was always there within seconds. He shared personal stories to help me get through it, which was so special and comforting. There are people in this world who were born to be a nurse- Grant is one of those people. Grant made the hardest day of my life easier for me. To this day my family and friends who were there still talk about how amazing he was. I will never forget that hard day, but I also will never forget Grant. The one who got me through it. Thank you, Grant.
