Graduation

Dear Jonah and Audrina,

Exactly one week ago, I graduated from nursing school. I am not an RN yet. I have to pass my boards before I am bestoyed that honor, but I have graduated nonetheless. So I have one month before I start working in the Neonatal ICU at Parkland. It was preety exciting because ya'll actually got to come on stage with me at my pinning ceremony. My friends from work were there and my family and ya'll got to pin me with my nurses pin and I got to tell everyone in my own words how thankful I was for their love and support. Here is what was said:

What is your favorite or personal quote?

“For truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.” Matthew 17:20

What are the names’ of the people pining you, and how are they related to you?

Jonah Senior (my son) and Audrina Senior (my daughter)

Who/what are you thankful for?

I want to thank my coworkers or should I say my friends, who picked up my slack at work and were my biggest cheerleaders, my family for all their love and support during this rollercoaster of a ride. I want to thank my husband, my best friend, who had to act as both dad AND mom when my nose was in the books, and most of all my children who have given me the strength I have needed to get through the rough times. It is because of them that I have gotten to where I am today; they motivated me to become a better person and I am eternally grateful for them. Thank you, I love you all!

It was great that ya'll actually walked up on stage. I was fearful that because there were so many people there that ya'll would get shy, but ya'll did great and I was so very happy!!

Love you always and forever,
Mommy
