My Daughter Passed Her Nursing Boards Today.

[Ikonoklast]

8. We have a long history of nurses in my family.

Both my aunts, my mother's sisters were nurses.

My Aunt Martha was an Army Captain stationed in Japan during Korea, she spent her time patching up wounded from that war.

She met a flier while he was on leave in Japan, he asked her to marry him and she told him after the war was over.

She shouldn't have waited, her fiance was shot down and killed while on a strafing run.

She never married after that.

Martha came back to the states and after working for the VA for years taught nursing at the school my daughter graduated from, she was in charge of the nursing program before she retired.

My Aunt Martha was a force of Nature, few doctors that crossed her path ever did so again.
