Re: Speaking of retiring nurses......

[Guest guest]

WOW -- that's some story, doug!! that's awesome that she remembered you after

all that time!!!

i ended up making my RN a " retirement survival kit " . i picked up a wooden box

at the craft store and covered it with tissue paper and covered it with the

glossy Mod Podge (Decoupage) . i have to say, i'm pretty proud of myself.

i picked up a really pretty heart necklace at kohls (i love that place - got

the necklace for 75% off), and then tossed the other stuff on the surivial kit

list that i made (found bits/pieces of the list online)

here's the pics of what i did.

She called me her " little man " and was so nice. I had a VERY YOUNG

crush on her. I told her that I wanted to marry her when I grew up.

(Laugh) When she got engaged and married, I was very upset and cried

for several days. I didn't even want her to give me my shots anymore.

After 46 years I came back to that clinic for my first Xolair Shots

and guess who was there? Yep, Miss Debbie, but a great grandmother who

was retiring in a month. She had quit nursing 10 years earier

and worked in the business office. She heard my name called from the

front desk, remember it and came out to greet me.

Both of us were shocked to see how much we both had changed through

the years. I had changed from a hyperactive 40 pound boy to a 210

pound gray headed man. I am now down to 180 pounds but still have the

gray hair. HA!

I must say, it was wonderful seeing her again.

That is so cool (I'm old I can say that!). I'll bet she remembers

this always, it puts a lump in my throat.

I am reminded by this that there are nice people in this world, both

receivers and givers. I need to remember that!
