Nurse Will Grima reaches Rebecca Zammit Lupi's Hickman line to administer medication through it as she sleeps in her room in Rainbow Ward at Sir Anthony Mamo Oncology Centre in Mater Dei Hospital, during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, in Tal-Qroqq, Malta October 8, 2020. Grima said, "Working with teens, children and babies, you get to see them overcome tribulations and watch as they grow from them. Sadly, sometimes the challenge is too great. In those times, we try to make whatever time they have as meaningful as possible. I can remember the excitement on Rebecca's face when she would show me one of the games she had been playing with Darrin: Sky. She'd explain the mechanics of the game to me, show me some outfits she'd received for her character and so on. You could see from the way her face lit up that she was enjoying it, so when I had some free time I'd try to steal a few minutes and watch Rebecca play. She'd either be showing her father the ropes as they played together, or blasting through levels with pinpoint accuracy from all the practice. Memories like these are bittersweet; I can't help but feel sad about what Rebecca and her parents had to endure, yet it's moments like those that make our line of work meaningful."
