4 more days

Four days until I can call the

2009-2010 school year history.

What a year it has been.

Much good things, many frustrations

many times I thought,

"gee, I really need to hang this up"

and yet just yesterday when in

the middle of another nursing glitch

and speaking with one of my peers about it

I walk in the hall and It is like being a VIP.

I get hugs and "Hey nurse Lilly"

from every angle.

As I and my nurse friend walk down the hall

I get shown every papercut, every bruise

and I look at her as I hug one of these babies

and I say,

"This is why I do it"

I am reminded that all the politics and problems

of school nursing is all worth it

for one day of bringing comfort to a child.

For every hug that I get or give.

It is why I do what I do.

So summer break and

2010-2011 school year

here I come.

Thanks to the Big Man

for better days for baby girl,

she is feeling much better these days

and so is her momma.
