mole
I once took care of a child molester who was gravely ill. He had only been out of prison for such a short time when his heart failed and I think he had cancer. He was admited to the cancer floor that I worked on. He has been in prison for a lot of years and was in his late sixties or early seventies when I met him. He was a very quiet person, talked only when spoken to.

As a nurse you are not supposed to let your feelings interfere with the care you give to your patients.

I did my best but I know he knew how I hated to enter his room. I was nice but cold to him. I regret that I was not friendly with him. I know he had an illness and he could not help what he did to those little boys.

He died alone. I don't even know if he had found Christ or not. His family would not have anything to do with him. No one should have to die alone.

I really don't have respect for child molesters. We had one in the family, by marriage, and he molested one of my granddaughters.
