This beautiful young girl... how I remember being this tender age of 14. Life is big and every experience tackled in a different way. More mature, more capable, needing more, wanting different, more sensitive, yearning to explore and so so much more. Our last school holiday, Brogan decided to pursue her growing love for medicine and health care. A wonderful friend of mine made a dream come true by getting permission for Brogan to attend various operations in one of our local hospitals as a volunteer . Life changed drastically for a while as this required very early dark Winter mornings riding through Town to get her there so she could help prep patients. Her days were long, often with out a break until I fetched her at the end of the day. She carefully watched as almost every operation from appendics surgery, spine, cesareans, circumcisions, removal of abscess's, prolapsed uterus and many more were performed. Young, old, male and female. Her experience has made her realise that although a very challenging road ahead with her schooling, that this is exactly what she would like to do.
The living of our lives , the days that just pass us . How our months and years roll by . How this has suddenly hit me as I write this post. I treasure my moments with Brogan . I now know how my Mother loved having me at this age.
Do have yourselves a happy day ~!

Wow. What an opportunity. I also have been seeking out ways for my girl to explore her interests through volunteering.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne she is beautiful! She looks just like you!
ReplyDeleteNo worries on the seeds; I must say I am in the same boat. With the baby here now, things just get by me! But I will get them to you ASAP!
Teenage years are rather amazing because you remember yourself with hopes and dreams. Best of luck to your daughter.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that she has found her calling, and that other people were willing to help her with that. Good luck to her regarding all the hard work ahead! She is a beautiful girl.

They grow up so quickly and Brogan is beautiful...just like her mama. My girls volunteered at the local hospital in California and it was such a wonderful experience for them. Love to you, XOXO
ReplyDeleteMay all your beautiful young girl's dreams and aspirations be fulfilled, my sista!
ReplyDeleteShe will MAKE this dream come true and will make the lives of others better.
ReplyDeleteYep, early morning rides to the hospital, ups and downs, but all those adventures have changed her life direction.
All joys to you and yours,

Hello friend, I think that is wonderful Suzanne. I could have used her help with one of my rescue horses who has had two abscesses in his hooves. They have finally drained and I have been bandaging and putting diapers on his hooves to keep them dry and clean. My husband says I should have been a vet. I understand your daughters love - I to love to help and heal others and animals. She's beautiful and so grown up from when i first found your blog.
ReplyDeleteThe little treasures in the armoire - The beautiful photographs of you - so nice to see. xxx
