A bond to be thankful for ? every day

Boston, MA - November 17, 2018: Julie Swain, left, talks with Jelani Waheed, right, after she gave Jelani a sign with quote from Abraham Lincoln at the Violence Intervention Advocacy Program offices at Boston Medical Center in Boston, MA on November 20, 2018. (Julie Swain is a veteran nurse. Two years ago, she raised her hand to work on the hospital's violence intervention program. And that's how she came to meet Jelani, who had been shot in the leg. It looked bad, swollen, life-threatening. At Julie's insistence, Jelani was treated for a blood clot that could have killed him. Today, 32-year-old Jelani is an apprentice iron worker. A photo of him now hangs on Julie Swain's bulletin board. He sits on a girder. He is smiling. And so is the nurse who saved his life. A Thanksgiving Day tale of a nurse, who cares for those trapped in violence without judgment. And of a young man, shot and almost killed last year. — Craig F. Walker/Globe Staff
