We went to the MOD family kickoff lunch yesterday. I happened to be standing near one of the MOD dimes employees when she was about to share about the resources on the MOD site and about Share. She had met me at shareunion so guess who was volunteered to speak about share....I was like ummm okay...so my husband and SIL said I did good for coming up with something right than and there. Gotta watch those MOD employees they make use of their volunteers...;p I was happy to tell about Share because it really has been such a support for me and maybe someone in that room will find it helpful too.
I am finding as I do more with the MOD, and then seeing all the great care my mom has been getting at her hospital. I think I may have figured out what I want to be when I grow up. I have been struggling with what to do once I start heading back into the workforce and had no clue. But I know I want to help people and give back in some way. So going to start exploring and seeing what's out there for down the road.
My mom is still doing good and started PT today. Her goal is to be at the walk on May 3. I have no doubt that she will be there with a smile on her face.
So glad to hear that you got to spread a little Share love! Share has been a really therapeutic place for me and I honestly think I wouldn't feel the way I do today about my daughter if it wasn't for them. Glad it has helped you as well. I think about what I want to be when I grow up all the time. I have a perfectly good career yet I am not able to "do" my job the same way I was before. I find myself getting to emotionally involved with the my patients and not being able to leave work at work like I used to be able to. It's the main reason I went to PRN (I work "as needed, usually 1-3 times per month). I hope that whatever your new calling is, it makes you happy. :)
I will be keeping my fingers crossed that your mom makes her goal.

Nicki,
That's wonderful that you were able to talk a bit about Share and the wonderful community that it is. I'm sure that the MOD staff there appreciated it.
Also great that it has inspired you to answer that question that I too have been trying to figure out (what to be when we grow up)!
AND great to hear that your mom is doing so well!!
Hugs,
Libby
