How proud I am of my sister and niece!!

My sister has just graduated, with a nursing degree, at the age of 53... she'll kill me for putting that bit in!! My niece has also just graduated...... well, she's 21, nearly, so the right age.

But I am so very very proud of them both... they have just sent me copies of the ceremonies.

I don't need anyone to reply... just wanted to shout it from the rooftops and let the whole world know!!

Love

Daff xxxxx

Aw thanks Jac and Ann...... sister had a real struggle with some of the work... not the practical, but written, turns out she is dyslexic and it was only discovered towards the end of her course. She is a real fighter...... she will be starting a proper job soon, I shall miss her kidnapping me... we have had such good fun being ladies wot lunch since she left Uni...

Thanks Jude... they are clever bunnies, aren't they???? I am, of course, very jealous of sister... she is younger than me, beautifully slim, and now brainier than me... officially, lolol!!

Love

She'd have to go a long way to be nicer than you though Daff :)

Congratulations to both of them but especially your sister for starting a whole new career when she could have been quite happy to settle for the status quo.

Hello Daff,
well done to sister and niece. What did your niece graduate in. Or was that nursing too. Are they mother and daughter?

Dear Daff

Hello,

Congratulations all round!

Your sister has done very well getting a degree in Nursing and
the whipper snapper niece has not done badly either!

And what is wrong with 53?!
Maturity that is what is needed.

Your sister is flying the flag for us mature students! Yippee!

Very pleased at your news, dear Daff.

Best wishes to you and your family.
