There is strength in loss

The losses we face will show us who we are meant to be...
.
When I decided to change jobs from aircraft maintenance to the cardiopulmonary field, I was on a mission to help in any way possible.
.
Losing my dad a few years before left a constant nagging desire to give back, to empower people to get healthier so they could live to the fullest.
.
As a respiratory therapist, I spent a lot of time talking to patients during treatments.
.
I heard so many stories, connected with them, and often heard statements like, “I could have taken better care of myself....” that always broke my heart, and I felt helpless to do much in those moments but listen.
.
I felt some satisfaction as an RT, but through that experience recognized I wanted to PREVENT, not treat.
.
That is why I’m here, how I can serve and honor my fathers memory by giving of myself to help others get their lives back, and why I will always push beyond what I think is possible to serve those who need it most.
.
Remember that the path to fulfilling your calling is never linear.
.
Some may paint it to be a smooth ride, but in reality the road is riddled with failures, heartbreak and missteps.
.
Everything you go through is meant to serve you for a higher purpose, never forget that.
