"Congratulations to you!"
She was so sure she had failed the State
Board exam.
But no!
Lots of prayers were answered, and now she's
A bona fide nurse.
The suspense was excruciating, and our
Insides are calm once more.
But I, always the realist, felt compelled to
Warn my granddaughter, "More tests will
Come, Lia. This isn't the last one."
And when they do, I'm sure our
Anxiety level will shoot up again along with
Our prayers.
But for today, she and we, are just
Enjoying the joy.
