My son got his Ph.D. on Tuesday!
I went to see him defend his dissertation. He gave an amazing talk. His field is Chemical Biology, and he studies ways of getting medicines into hard to get to places using viruses and light. That’s about all I can understand…it is such far out science.
This is my baby boy who has given me so much grief and pain. It’s not over, of course, but I am one proud mama, and of course I love the guy beyond all reason.
Whew, this journey to success has been a very long and bumpy one for him, but he is not merely one more Ph.D. in the world. He is rising very quickly to the top. It’s a long story, and I’m very tired, as I came down with the flu a couple of weeks ago and this past few days have been a whirl of travel and celebratory festivities. So I’ll leave the details for another time, and just say
CONGRATULATIONS to my dear pain in the ass 😄😘🤗🤓🤖👍💖🍻🍾🌟😊

And a very big hug to you..as you share with him, as his mother, with love and pride only a mother knows. So very happy for you both. ❤ ❤

/ October 21, 2016Thank you thank you! Of course there’s more to the story, not all of it so great, but for now I’m focusing on the positive and hoping he will get even more serious now that he’s a post-doc, and begin to weed out unhealthy behaviors. I hope his success will motivate him to keep reaching higher!

/ October 21, 2016Thanks, Ashu! Actually the science that he does is so far-out, I can barely get the gist of it. It’s fabulous, as far as I can understand it, though!

/ October 21, 2016Thanks, Anne! I am so very proud of him. It’s been a rough road, and I do give myself credit where credit is due, for hauling him kicking and screaming out of a downward spiral, into the light. Thank God for the resources that appeared just in time….
