A story about Fred

I was Fred's home health nurse, and it was an honor and a pleasure to care for him while having the opportunity to get to know both Fred and Barbie more closely. Every time I visited, they made me feel so welcome, and over time, they became like family.

Throughout that time, Fred showed incredible courage, strength, and determination, despite setbacks and daily challenges. Even on the toughest days, he maintained a good attitude, a wonderful sense of humor, and a passion for life (and chocolate!). Seeing the way he faced each obstacle was inspiring.

Even though I care for many patients, he touched me in a unique way, and I will always value the time I spent with him. He will be deeply missed and I feel grateful to have known him.
