Shelton continued, explaining that “the whole time I heard you guys talking, and you keep throwing it back to God, and I love hearing you say that.”
“I want to dedicate this song from me to you guys as nurses, and being there on the front lines, and I think this song really speaks to your relationship with each other if you ask me,” the “Nobody But You” hitmaker explained, before breaking in to a rendition of his hit song, “God Gave Me You.”
The minute he started singing Bridgette, a nursing assistant, who spent weeks on a ventilator fighting for her life after being diagnosed with COVID-19, broke into tears.
The whole time she was fighting, her daughter, Sylvia, remained at the same hospital as a nurse fighting on the frontlines of the pandemic.
