This man is my world. He is my exemplar, my motivation, my joy, my peace, my warmth, my smile, my companion. Through 23 years of formal education, he has worked and prepared for this day. His moment in time when a lifelong pursuit of excellence and education paid off in a moment of success and accomplishment. I have never known a man more willing to sacrifice for the goals and dreams of his family than him. Every pursuit in life has been for us. Every sleepless stretch of work, clinicals, school, home, family, church... has been for 3 fans in the background... although he never let us feel like we were the background. Life has always revolved around us, though it was brimming with everything else. Congrats Jonathan. You deserve the world.
