In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life:
it goes on. — Robert Frost
Last year this month I attended Erica's match day at Georgetown--to see where she would be doing her residency. As we waited for her group to be given their envelopes to be opened at the stroke of noon, the nervous energy was palpable which lead to Erica's racing heart. That's my hand on the left feeling her pulse in her throat while her hand holds her scarf. H is for heart and hands. Remember? she had open heart surgery to replace a faulty valve only three months before she started Medical School. Now her hands help heal patients she sees in the emergency room.
See more H's at Mrs Nesbitt's ABC Wednesday.

Terrific post! What a determined young lady your Doctor Erica is and because she knows what it's like to face major surgery she is no doubt a more caring and understanding medic.
Heart and hand, two wonderful meaningful words. I like the way you told us this touching story.
