A few years ago, my one week old nephew was in the hospital having surgery on his brain.
My mother-in-law spent some time with her daughter and grandson while they stayed at the hospital.
After that experience, my father-in-law suggested to his wife that she return to her nursing roots.
She had been a nurse in a former life - the one before having children.
Over the years she had done a lot of amazing and impressive things.
One of her many successes was raising her children into adulthood.
They were all married and having families of their own now.

The time was right, the promptings were there - both tangibly by her husband, and spiritually.
So she did it!
She returned to nursing school.

She spent a year working on the pre-requisites while winding down her existing business.
She was admitted into the very competitive nursing program at the U.
And she worked.
She worked and worked and worked and worked to learn everything she could and keep her grades high.
And finally, two years later, the pay off came!
She is still finishing her final semester over the summer, but there's no doubt she'll get it done.
She has been an amazing example.
Congratulations, Peggy!
Happy Graduation!
