My mother passed in the early morning hours of Easter Sunday. She donated her body to a research university in Texas for the study of her very rare form of cancer. I'll be traveling to Texas to attend her Celebration of Life service on June 1st.
I've actually been home this week, but not sitting still by any means!
On Wednesday evening, our daughter Becca graduated... her 2nd degree... a little bit backwards...
Becca graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Exercise Science. A brief stint in nursing school and back to the drawing board. She got a job in a Physical Therapy office and that changed everything. A year after graduating college, she was back at Lehigh Carbon Community College in their Physical Therapy Assistant Program. The program is competitive - she had to convince them to even interview her for a spot and she's worked her tail off the past two years to stay in the program and finish. They only accept 36 students a year. Of that 36, only 24 graduated. She struggled through some of the courses (Kinesiology AGAIN) but she stuck with it. And here we are! She now has an Associates Degree in Applied Sciences from the Physical Therapy Assistant program. She's more proud of this degree than her BS and rightfully so - she's never worked so hard for anything in her life! I'm so proud of her accomplishment! Now for the Boards...
Next up? We're off to visit a famous mouse, a castle, a school for witches and wizards... I'm almost too tired to begin this next journey but it is upon us, so here I go!
