Ode to Philip

So, Philip is now in his third year of Medical School. I officially decided that to become a Physician, one truly has to be motivated by a sincere desire to 1) study ALL the time, and 2) help others at a personal sacrifice. I can't even describe how difficult these years of school have been for me and I haven't even been the one going to school! It has been even more challenging for Philip who has not only been going to school, but succeeding and surpassing his peers with excellence and professionalism, all the while having a wife and a baby. Philip this past summer studied for 6 weeks straight for his board exams and two weeks before the exam was in a very terrible accident, that he is still in physical therapy for. Yet, he put his physical pain aside and he was still able to slam the test out of the park with a fantastic score.
So whilie being a father, husband, Home teacher, ward pianist, choristor, violinist, substitute in nursury, student, gardner, and occasionally chef and maid, never having time for himself, he still manages to get up every morning with a smile on his face. So, whilie studying and working hard Philip also is learning patience and humility with grace. Max and I are so blessed to have such a great leader in our home who is not afraid to fight the fight and persevere through difficult times.
So now we know where Max inherited his Kryptonic genes from: His Superman Father.
