Nursing Scrubs

Since that is the name of this blog, they do deserve a mention I do love to wear my scrubs. They help me feel like I belong.

I am going to miss you...

I looked over my glass of red wine and saw the tears welling in my mom's eyes. My mom. The woman who brought me into this world, taught me right from wrong, gave me grace and appreciation of all living things, gave me humor and strength. My mom- the strongest woman I know. I can only hope to have her strength one day. What would have happened if I would have left 1 year ago when she vehemently disagreed with my decision to go? What would have happened if I left and completely blocked her out of my life? Can a relationship mend those wounds?

Everything happens for a reason, so when the rotation at St. Joes opened up I grabbed it. A rotation in Milwaukee? I would be able to move home! Five weeks to get to know my mom again, to meet the new woman she is and introduce her to the new me.

In retrospect I can see that this was one of the best life decisions I have made. We are better friends now than ever before. Who would have known that we could be sitting in a martini bar drinking cosmos and wine and talking about our beautiful futures.

I will miss you too Mama.
