Graduates!

When we were growing up my brother was sick.
Doctors told us that he had epilepsy, which we later found out was actually liquid in his brain. He was 7 years old.

Today.. At 22 he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Sciences.. Hugging the Dean as he did so.
I watched as he walked proudly across that stage and accepted that certificate remembering the time that we were told “I’m afraid it doesn’t look too good.”
Some people look at him and say that he just defied the odds.. I look at him and say no.. That was God.

So today on your graduation big baby brother, I pray that this new season that you are starting is a great one and from here on in it only gets better!

I also want to congratulate my friend who also graduated last week and is now a certified Doctor of Medicine!
She is equally awesome!!

Good, better, best!
I am so proud of you both! The long library sessions, sleepless nights and studying when you didn’t want to have paid off.. Now.. We celebrate!
