Day 17 - I TOTALLY LOVE HIM!

Day 17: your idol and why you look up to them


I don't really have an idol that I look up to really.

Wait.  I've mentioned someone on here before- a patient, but recently I've been reflecting on something Eve had told me.  Well, a couple of somethings...

She was one of my very first patients I had in the assisted living center.  I was like 18.  She was very quiet, but I would come to her room and wheel her down for dinner.  At the end, I would return her and we would talk.

Oh the adventures she shared!  She had gone up in a hot air balloon ride for her 80th bday.  Her neighbor, Eleanor and Mary Jane had told me that I would be so much more open to compromise when I found someone truly right for me.

I realized that they were right.

My entire childhood, I was sooooo proud of my name, Strode.  I was convinced that I would never ever change it for all the cookies in the world!

Steven came along, my last name is Riverside.

And again, I am convinced that I will never ever change it again, for all the medical knowledge in the world.

I heard one guy say that that was a dealbreaker for him if his wife didn't take his name.  Well, Stacey didn't take Casey's name.  That seems like a silly thing to fight over.
