How to Cope with no II

Both of my parents are awesome! They grew up in large, poor Irish Catholic families. Working dad, stay at home mom, and probably too many kids. (Later in life my grandmas both left the church and fully support birth control now! Haha) When my mom got in to medical school, her dad told her she was a disappointment and never going to get a husband. He eventually thought it was a good idea when my parents got engaged, but was again surprised when my mom said she wouldn't be dropping out of medical school after the wedding!

When they went on to residency, my parents had $0, literally. They ended up taking out a store credit card to buy groceries for their first month until payday. They are such an inspiration and worked really hard to get where they are today.
