Amanda Scarpinati fell onto a steam vaporizer after rolling off the sofa when she was three months old. The result was a burn and a reprimand. She needed multiple reconstructive surgeries as she grew older.
After being transported to the Albany Medical Center, special nurse Sue Berger provided her with care. While the girl was in pain, Berger took her in her arms and provided some consolation. That was in 1977.
Only the pictures she had taken with Berger in her arms remained after Scarpinati was released from the hospital. Scarpinati was resolved to track down the carrying nurse and express her gratitude for her unwavering kindness.
Bullies exploited her injuries and tortured her as a child. For this reason, the caring woman’s heartfelt gesture was very important to her. Scarpinati proceeded to share a message on Facebook regarding it. The nurse’s identity was quickly ascertained.
It’s a touching moment to watch Scarpinati and Berger reunite at the location of their initial encounter in the video below. You must watch to see how the two communicate their feelings for one another.
