My mom is in nursing school. I think that it pretty cool that she has decided to do that 'at her age.' :) School is very intense and she can't miss a day or she will get behind and not be able to catch up. She was very bummed that she couldn't be at Kate's surgery today because she had to be in class all day.
Shortly after my dad and sister arrived, he got a call. My mom's instructor didn't show up. This instructor has NEVER missed a day and runs a tight ship. Some of the other girls in the class tease my mom about being a Christian, but they knew she was missing Kate's surgery today. When the word came that there would be no class, my mom said, 'Oh! Now I can go to the hospital for Kate's surgery!" One of the girls who teases my mom said, "Wow! That was God!"
So my mom was able to be here today, for which I was happy (because we all just want our Mama's at a time like this).
L-R, my sister, Jeff, my dad, my SIL Meredith, and my mom
