In 2019, Alek Hermon faced the trauma of his father's coma after a brain injury. To support their father, Hermon and his family took shifts in the ICU. Alek selected the difficult 3-6 a.m. shift, where he met nurse Ray. Initially judgmental, Alek found solace in Ray's care and connection. As he read to his father, Ray engaged in conversation about the books and Hermon's father's life. Ultimately, Hermon faced the heart-wrenching decision to end life support, and Ray's support became pivotal during this tragic time.
Ray came almost every shift to take care of Hermon's father's vital signs and basic needs, making a significant impact during a traumatic time.
Over the week, Hermon started to appreciate Ray's kindness and shared interests, which developed into a deeper connection amid a challenging situation.
