For those of you who do not know this week is nurse's week, Friday was military spouse appreciation day, and today is Mother's day. I hope you all know that is Mother's day and have called your mothers but I thought I would inform you on the other appreciations this week that have come to mean so much to me. I would like to point out that there is only a physician appreciation day, the nurses get a whole week. I appreciate every nurse I have ever worked with and look forward to working with many more nurses in my career. Go Nurses! The Friday before every Mother's day is military spouse appreciation day, to celebrate I went to a comedy show put on by Armed Forces Entertainment Thursday night and then Heidelberg for a formal celebration and my friend's graduation on Friday and Saturday. I have to say that this last year has given me an entire new respect for military spouses.
As I thought about this Mother's Day I thought about how much this past year has changed for my family. It has given me new light and respect for those whom I wish to thank this Mother's Day. First all Nathan and I each only have one Grandma still alive, and we both love these women dearly. Where else can a child or adult turn in times of wanting a hug, a word of encouragement, comfort food or just some attention than his or her Grandma. Even if you are in trouble with your own parents, your Grandma is always there for you. I cannot express how awesome it was to meet Nathan's Grandma last summer and I hope to see her much more and hear even more stories. I am at a loss of words to express how much my own Grandma has meant to me this past year, times have been tough but she has always been there. And Grandma I love hearing your stories, seeing your pictures and eating your food more than you can imagine. Happy Mother's Day to our Grandmas!
The last person I want to wish a Happy Mother's Day to is mother-in-law. You have shown me more love and support this last year than I could have ever asked for. I hope that some day when we have kids and they get married that I can show the same love and respect for their spouses as you have shown me. I look forward to hearing more stories about Nathan and your family as well. And I want you to know that we will always be able to turn to you for a hug, words of encouragement and comfort food as well. I hope our relationship can only grow.
