This is my sister, Mary, born 20 months after I was. She was just named one of the 100 top nurses in Louisiana, and on May 14 (her eldest daughter's 22nd birthday), after a marriage (this may actually be their Silver Anniversary year), three lovely kids, enormous expertise in surgery, her R.N. license and many years of night classes, will graduate from Loyola University with a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing. She has already begun taking graduate level classes toward becoming a nurse practitioner.
Mary is a delightful person, a great cook (thanks to her mother-in-law, God rest her soul), a fantastic nurse and ... a black belt in Tae Kwon Do (did I spell that correctly?). We love her to death, and are happy for her to have achieved this goal.
Congratulations, Mary!

thanks for your heart-felt blog; brightens my day to read it!
Sister, that is really awesome. What a family and what a year. I'm not sureif you spelled Tae Kwan Do right either? I'm kinda with you, I'm not sure how to spell things either, specially words like that!!!
Congratulations to Mary!
And she actually looks good in the mortarboard, too, which is no mean accomplishment.
YES, THE SPELLING OF TAE KWON DO IS RIGHT!
