WONDERFUL!!!!! I am so PROUD of her!!!!!! Make SURE she knows how much we love her, that we would love her even if she hadn't passed, but we are so very very proud that she worked so hard for her goal and she ACHIEVED it!
This is AWESOME and INCREDIBLE news, but I KNEW she could do it!!!
Just think, she will be making an incredible difference in people's lives - on a regular basis!
I know in Sept, when Jess was hit by a car, the sight of that ambulance coming down the road, and all 4 guys pouring out of different vehicles to help Jessie was just wonderful. I was ready to cry with relief because help had arrived. And one of the guys even APOLOGIZED for being in workout clothes instead of a uniform - he heard it was a child hit by a car and just jumped into the ambulance - he could have been stark naked for all I cared! I just was so relieved to have help, someone to check her out and reassure us.
I also know when I had my seizure later that month that my husband and kids were ALL incredibly relieved when the EMT's showed up - I was shaking and not aware or coherent and no one knew what to do. The EMTs were awesome and very reassuring and took great care of me. Nichole will make that difference in someone's life too.
And soon Nichole will be one of those people. She will be there when people need her the most. It is a big responsibility and she will meet it with grace and pride.
I think this is just the BEST news!! It is time for a party for Nichole, and for her Mama who helped her and nudged her and taught her all the way along. Her Mama who inspired her, and let her know that she really COULD do it, in spite of any obstacles.
Hooray for Nichole and Lisa!!!!!!!!
