Had a profound moment yesterday. I wanted to stop at the pharmacy to pick up an Rx on my way home from work. I hadn’t considered bringing a mask as I was going to be in and out. As I parked, I noticed an elderly gentleman giving his wife a pep talk. 1/

This poor woman looked absolutely TERRIFIED. Her husband gently grabbed her shoulder shoulders, looked her in the eyes and said “It’s OK, honey.” She took a deep breath, put on her mask and went into the pharmacy holding her husband’s hand. 2/

Their perspective stopped me in my tracks. I turned around, went home and got my mask. By wearing a mask in public, even for a quick trip into the store, I am showing respect for those most vulnerable to #COVID19. 3/

I want everyone to feel safe at the grocery store/pharmacy etc. My mask reflects how much I care about the well-being of each and every one of you. #COVID19 #YYC #WeAreInThisTogether #EmergencyNurse 4/4
