Congratulations Mom!

YOU'RE RETIRED!! I am so proud of you Mom! You have loved so many people and cared for so many patients throughout your life as a nurse. For over 30 years you have been an INCREDIBLE nurse and have made the world a better place!

You inspired me to want to be a nurse, which is why I chose Hope College, but then I realized that I didn't want to be a nurse, but I really respected you for being one...and I met Ryan at Hope, so I guess it all worked out well.

Either way, I am so happy that you're done working, that you get to do whatever you want and go wherever you want and hang out with dad a lot and come visit me in Grand Rapids.
I love you!
