Marie Finishes Nursing School

Last week (May 12) I spent the day in Tuscaloosa (and Northport) celebrating Marie’s completion of her RN program. While I’m not sure how much she wanted to go through it beforehand, I know from watching her smile, that she was so very glad that she did go through the ceremony — with Kevin, Jeanne, Charlie and me to cheer her on.

After graduation we retreated to their house and enjoyed lunch before returning to the school for the Pinning Ceremony. I found that to be a lovely, rather intimate event - just the nursing students, faculty and guests. The speaker talked about how important the nurses have been for his young daughter’s cancer treatment - and how important they could be.

It was well worth the late return to Auburn to have been able to stay and share in the whole day.
