Social Media Campaign Reunites Man With Childhood Nurse (Positive story for the day)
Gary Bentley had open heart surgery when he was only 10 years old. But it's not the pain, or even the fear he recalls from that hospital stay in 1973.
"There was a nurse when I came out of intensive care," said Bentley of Killen, Alabama. "She was on my floor right after I recovered and she was very sweet to me.
"She brought me little gifts. I don't really remember what they were, but the one thing she brought was a smile and encouraging words everyday. She also played little games with me. I got so attached."
The now 52-year-old told ABC News he was sad to leave the nurse who originally cared for him post-surgery. "I tried to go back down to see her, but being a kid, they wouldn't let me," he said. "We took a photo and I carried that picture through three foster homes. It even made it through a house fire."
Forty-two years after his hospital stay, Bentley's wife suggested he share the photo on Facebook in an effort to locate the nurse...Just two days later, the search for nurse Kathy was over....

I have to say, she looks very good for her age, and it seems not surgically enhanced.
