The other day I went to Rochester Minnesota to interview for a position at the Mayo Clinic. As we toured the massive complex they told us of the variety of patients we would see, the responsibilities we would have. It was rigourous and academic. It was not something to be taken lightly the position involved the ability to make crucial decisions of life and death.
I couldn’t help but laugh to myself during our tour as I thought about earlier that morning as I got up at 3:30 AM to fly out of Seattle. Half asleep in the security line I saw I had a message on my phone at around 4:30AM. I can say that I wasn’t surprised to hear the groggy voice on the other end,
“Honey, I know Minnesota is cold make sure to wear your hat.”
No matter how far in my career I will go, how much responsibility I have to take on, how many lives I have on the line, my mom will always be a mom. I made sure to bundle up.
that’s hilarious. Mom’s never lose the mom-ness, it’s so true!
