Well, as many of you know, I will soon resign as an occupational therapist to be a stay at home mom. This transition will be bitter sweet I am sure. It seems like I have spent my entire life preparing to work. However, I know being a mother to my child is a job that only 1 person can fill and I know it is where God is calling me to be. I have enjoyed working (and may again in the far future) and will be saddened to leave my sweet sweet patients and friends at the hospital. "Enjoyed" is an understatement really of how much I cherish the time I have spent at the hospital with the pediatric/NICU patients. Another person I will dearly miss seeing on a daily basis is my friend Mary Sue. She has been my mentor and very best friend while working. Without her, I would not have been able to work in the NICU. She is brilliant and a daily inspiration. I will miss her cheerful and positive attitude, her encouragment to continue on when times got tough, her refreshing ideas, her persistance at providing the very best care despite what others thought, and most of all just her companionship. Of course I will get to keep these friendships I have made, but it just won't be the same! I pray for peace as I enter into this new phase. I do consider it a privilege to be able to stay home. It will just be different than before! God is good and He will provide me with what I need to be successful at home, I just know it!
