Yesterday Eloise and I went to visit Sara at work -- to get the tour and have lunch. Sort of the opposite of "bring your child to work" day.
Over time, you get used to the idea that your children have grown up and are doing well in their careers. But hearing about it and seeing it are two different things. Making our way through the maze that is M.D. Anderson, finding the Sarcoma Center, and being met by Sara wearing her white coat with all the initials following her name and with her stethoscope hanging from her neck somehow make it real. We met all of the people she works with that we've heard about, and we toured the clinic and the inpatient floor where she does her thing. We even got to buy her lunch at the Rotary House before going by and seeing her office in the Faculty Center. All in all, quite impressive. And it makes a parent proud.
Maybe we should lobby to make "Bring Your Parents to Work Day" something official!
