Allow me a bit of 'auntie' pride in saying big congrats to one of Emory's newest graduates--Melissa, daughter of my friend Joy. And....she graduated summa cum laude (friend Judy sez that is Latin for "wow doggie!") a week ago today at Emory University School of Medicine. Here she is with her sweet mom...
And with her hubby, sister, cousin and other friends in her cheering section...
Melissa now begins her residency in pediatrics. And to her credit, she has recently returned from Guatamala where she did an immersion class for two weeks, and lived with locals to beef up her Spanish abilities. She is one sharp cookie...and a beautiful young lady, inside and out. Congrats, Doc Melissa. We love you bunches!!!!!!!

WAY TO GO, MELISSA! We are so proud of you!!
Mom, can you believe I walked across that stage 15 years ago?!? (Let's don't mention how many years since your first Mother's Day though, okay? That can be our little secret.)
XOXO,

Yes, this reminded me of that very day 15 years ago...and how proud we were then (and still are) of our very own Emory grad. I need to dig out those pics...and of the two graduates who followed you at two other schools. Am I a proud mommie or what?
