A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Some people search forever for that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.
Perhaps that song is about meeting the love of your life. But, I remember when Kelly Clarkson won American Idol and sang that song. It was all about the moment and that is exactly how I felt today at graduation!
Below is was the pinning ceremony. We received our school nursing pins and we were given a moment to speak. I shared an experience I had just this past Mother's Day. I was working in the ER with my nurse and we had a patient come in with chest pains. He had a heart attack there and despite the best efforts of the nursing staff, he passed away. His wife stood there, just outside the door and watched her husband die, on Mother's Day. That was a pinnacle point for me and I realized just how important this career is. So many other things in this world cloud our minds with worry and concern, but in reality, our lives and the lives of our loved ones is more important than anything else we have.
Joshua was the person I chose to pin me.
No celebration is complete without the right accesories ;) These are the glitter shoes I bought.
My necklace and the school pin we received.
My friend Launa did my hair.
This is my graduating class.
My niece Aubree.
Here we took the Nightingale Oath in order to be a sworn nurse.
