I spent two weeks alone in the hospital while my children were overseas, and every night, a gentle man came into my room, sat beside me, and told me, “Don’t lose hope. You’re not alone.” When I was discharged, I asked about him, only to learn that no male nurse had been assigned to my room, so I assumed the comforting visits had been hallucinations caused by my medication. Five weeks later, I returned for a checkup and received an envelope from a volunteer containing a note: “I wasn’t part of your care team. I’m a volunteer.

I promised myself I’d do the same whenever I could.” At the bottom was his name, proving he was real—not a hallucination, just someone who understood loneliness and chose to show up.
