Today I am thankful for my oldest daughter, Kelly. She is one of the sweetest, most loyal, and level headed young ladies that I know. I know it sounds cliche, but this girl changed my entire world in the summer of '83. There is something about that first born child that holds a special place in your heart. Kelly was a very timid young girl - even at the age of 15, she would not go into a store by herself. I had to be right there with her. When she moved out for college, I really expected to get a phone call within the first month telling me that she couldn't do it and needed to come back home. I never received that phone call - instead she went on to get her Masters of Science by the age of 24. She struggled with what field to go into while in college, and found herself in nursing. What a nurse she has become. She has gone into the field of hospice. You can teach anybody to do IV's, catheters, or any other nursing skills - but you just can't teach someone to genuinely care and love their patients and their families. Simply put, she is nothing short of awesome and I am proud she calls me mama.
