I work in a place that is terrifying. It is cold, sterile, bright, and noisy. In the dark of the night there are noises and beeping and sometimes even sounds of those suffering. Sleep is interrupted. Everything is uncomfortable including the bed underneath us. There is one person that might make a difference. Holding our hands, calming our fears, easing our pain. And in my belief, give us a warm blanket. A warm blanket in a hospital is worth a million hugs. Sometimes all we need is a warm blanket.
Bee is that girl that recently found herself writing for twenty years with no goals in mind. With a stirring of life events, it came to her attention that maybe she should blog her exploration of life and writing. This is no frilly author full of rainbows and butterflies. This is a Girl Named Bee. She is dark, sarcastic, high energy and giggly. She is a nerd and a secret super hero. Join her as she explores this journey, wherever that may lead.

the warm blanket is absolutely like a hug, I work in a hospital and see the faces relax in such comfort when we cover them, you wrote this with such tenderness and love. Thank you for responding to the challenge!
the simple things in life mean so much, I wanted exactly this from the prompt, I will be opening up the post to link in a while, just getting coffee and my head cleared after a long night.
Wonderful post.
