Chapter 04
Safe Harbor
Searching for red flags,
but only finding a garden of green.
In a world where I was taught to be cautious, you taught me to be certain. Every hesitation I had was met with your gentle reassurance.
Unwavering Patience
Listening to my ramblings after your 12hr shifts.
Pure Empathy
The way you care for scared patients.
Academic Anchor
Supporting me through every exam week.

The Prayer
I remember kneeling by my bedside, exhausted from rounds, feeling the weight of the future. I asked for a sign. Not a lightning bolt, but a quiet certainty. I asked for someone who understands the silence after a long shift, who sees the person behind the scrubs.
And then, I thought of you. I realized I wasn't asking for someone *like* you. I was describing you.
