It’s almost time to draw the curtain on the act/journey that is four years of medical school. Then a slight intermission, followed by the second act, which is equally as long, that is four years of residency. My family is here with one more arriving on Sunday (Mother’s Day). I am thankful that family has traveled from different parts of the country for this momentous occasion. It’s hard for me to believe that everything that we (yes, we – because medical school is not just about my husband making it through) have worked so hard for us coming to a close.
I am so damn proud of my husband. He worked so hard during the first two years to do well in school. He will be graduating with honors and towards the top of his class. Long nights of studying and proving his abilities during his rotations have culminated to this moment – graduation. You can bet your bottom dollar that I will screaming like the proud wife I am on Monday. There is no doubt in my mind that he will do just as well in residency as he did in medical school. He will be a great anesthesiologist and I’m looking forward to watch him flourish and grow in his new career.
Over the next few days, I’m going to enjoy spending time with my family and be fully present when my husband graduates.
