When a Queen’s Nurse Walks Into Cubicle 9 Lion Ward

“A Visit We’ll Never Forget”

9/2/2026 Today, Sharon Lee came to see Maya in cubicle 9 on Lion Ward — and what a special visit it was. Sharon is a Queen’s Nurse, a title awarded to nurses who show outstanding commitment to patient care and community nursing, and she has been a nurse for an incredible 47 years.

I was lucky enough to work alongside Sharon during the pandemic, and now, years later, to have her standing by Maya’s side feels incredibly full-circle and deeply humbling. Her compassion, generosity, and unwavering support throughout our journey is something I will never forget.

Sharon also arrived with a beautiful gift — a book titled “William Has a Cunning Plan!” written by Kate Spillet and Rupert, and illustrated by Kay Griffiths. It brought smiles, warmth, and a moment of magic to the ward. You can find out more about their lovely work at kateandrupertbooks.co.uk.

We feel truly privileged — not just because of Sharon’s title, but because of the heart behind it.

Thank you, Sharon.

Your kindness will forever be part of our story. 🎗️🫶
