They say, “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life,” and one remarkable individual is living proof of this.
Lindon Beckford has spent over three decades working at a hospital, where his role is to transport patients from the operating room to their wards. At first glance, this might not seem like a particularly significant job, but once you hear what this extraordinary man does for those in his care, you’ll understand the profound impact he has on their hospital experience, making it as comforting and serene as possible.
Lindon knows that his patients may be feeling frightened and anxious, so he always goes the extra mile to put them at ease, often bringing a smile to their faces.
He starts by introducing himself, saying, “My name is Lindon, and I’ll be your chauffeur.” Then, he begins doing what he loves, which in turn, helps his patients find joy. Lindon sings to them. Many are so touched by this simple yet heartfelt gesture that they can’t help but shed tears of happiness.
Believe it or not, Lindon has been singing to patients for nearly 31 years.
When he first began working at the hospital, singing was something that came naturally to him. However, he quickly realized the powerful effect it had on the anxious patients he escorted. Often, they join in, creating a beautiful, uplifting moment that is both heartwarming and unforgettable.
His patients feel valued and special, even if just for a moment, allowing them to forget their worries. This small respite means the world to them.
It truly takes a special person to do what Lindon does, and the world could certainly use more people like him.
