My memory is learning to recognise people by their eyes when clad in full PPE. The eyes tell you a lot and slowly over time they lost their sparkle. A smile can be worn on faces, voices can be made to sound bright and happy, but the eyes - they tell a true story.

To see the eyes lose their sparkle and fade over time is not a good thing to see. Many nurses lost their sparkle, but now slowly thanks to all around them, there is a new light starting to appear. The light and shine of a conquering hero.
