28 Days of Thankfulness - Day 19 - Dreams

Jack proudly announced to me via FaceTime earlier this week that when he grows up he wants to be a doctor. Not an eye doctor, or a baby doctor, or any other kind of doctor, but a "regular" doctor. The kind of doctor that you can go to when you are sick, and he will help you. He wants to help people who are sick like Pepa was sick. The word for what Jack may actually want to be is: oncologist. We haven't gotten quite that far yet in the conversation. 

Jack is absolutely intelligent enough to be a doctor, we may need to tweak his bedside manner a little bit.

Jack may change his mind one hundred times before he actually picks or falls into a career. The important part is that he is thinking about what could be, what he could do when he grows up.  I love seeing him so excited about this idea.

Today I am thankful for possibility, for dreams, and for aspirations. I was thinking Jack Edwards sounded presidential when we bestowed that name upon him. Dr. Edwards sounds just as good.
