As the saying goes, “The devil’s in the details,” and sometimes all it takes is a new perspective to recognize the beauty we often miss in ourselves. Nurse Brandalyn Mae Porter discovered this during a touching interaction with an elderly resident.
While painting the resident’s nails, Brandalyn suggested a fun color, but the woman opted for clear polish, describing her hands as “ugly.” Brandalyn lovingly replied, “Your hands tell the story of love, care, and adventure. They’ve touched and held more than most can imagine.” Moved by her kind words, the woman chose pink instead.
This small, yet meaningful gesture, which has gone viral online, serves as a powerful reminder to embrace our flaws and appreciate the beauty found in every detail.
