Unexpected holiday

Today I had an opportunity to spend Christmas with a patient and his daughter. I can't discuss the details, but when I came in the daughter was sure that she would not have a peaceful, non-tearful moment, and when I left she said that the music had actually made her feel better.  We talked about her dad, played some music he enjoyed...which was tricky since they are Latino and I don't speak any Spanish or know any Spanish songs...and he seemed more peaceful when I left too. It reminded me what a great profession I'm in and I felt blessed that God had granted me the opportunity to help her feel better.
