I stared at the photograph, unable to understand what I was seeing. The nurse explained that the girl was named Emily. She had been a patient in the same hospital many years earlier. She was thirteen when she died following complications from a serious illness. The nurse said Emily had been remembered for comforting other patients, especially those who felt lonely.
I felt a chill run through my body. I asked why she had shown me the photograph. The nurse hesitated before answering. Then she told me something even more unbelievable: Emily had once promised another patient that she would never let someone feel alone in that room.
