" The image should be comforting," my sister said. She should know. She's helped more people into this world, and into the next, than you could shake a stick at. Hers is the first face you see in this life, and the last. She's a nurse, a front-line soldier in the forever-losing war on injury, disease and death. Here's a big bouquet of red roses, thorns and all, for you dear sister, and for all the nurses in the world.
