The kids are in a biography study in their reading program. I sent Emily, with her dad, to the library to pick up a couple new biographies. She came home with a Florence Nightingale book and a few others. I make note of the Nightingale book because she was "the founder of modern nursing". I was so pleased that she chose that book, because I am a Registered Nurse. It pleased me because I knew it was an expression of her love to me. She is such a sweet girl. When she flipped open the Nightingale book, she flipped out. "MOM, LOOK AT THIS!", she said. To our amazement...
I was not only the first person to check out and read that book, but in about a 24 year span we were the ONLY two people that ever to check it out!
I don't remember wanting to be a nurse at the age when I read that book. I wanted to be a teacher. Funny!
It made for a great memory!
