"I finally have a purpose."

I acquired my certificate today for finishing the caregiver course. As I was going to the training center to get it, I felt a tinge of excitement because finally, I did it! The documentation proves that I am competent to be a caregiver. When I got the certificate, I felt a sense of responsibility and pride.

"I finally have a purpose."

Please don't get me wrong. My daughter is my inspiration, but the feeling of knowing that I am a certified caregiver hits me differently. It must be out of frustration from when I was in medical school ten years ago.

It was only later in the evening that I felt the weight of the responsibility of being a certified caregiver. The pressure hasn't dawned on me yet. Right now, I am still in cloud 9. We'll see what the next few weeks will be like for me.

The journey is not yet over - it has just begun. 💙💙💙
