Wow, what a life she had. And how lucky for you to have her wedding and engagement rings, plus her nursing school diploma! They are priceless treasures.

Your family is made of sturdy stuff! And for you to be a pediatric nurse practitioner is the icing on the cake! Congratulations on your achievement!

I'm so glad you chose to share your story. These sturdy folk are what make America great.
