As I look back on the people who made the most difference in my life and that I feel tremendous gratitude for, Candy is high on the list. More than 40 years ago she went above and beyond her duty as a L and D nurse helping my husband and I to find a great OB, guiding us from afar during pregnancy before we moved to Palo Alto, coming in when she wasn't even scheduled to work to give us some support and guidance. But most importantly, she gave my husband a quick lesson in coaching and then left us to work on our own...checking in frequently to make sure we were doin well. To me, that moment was when I really surrendered into trusting and loving deeply my husband. If Candy had had more ego involved, she wouldn't have stepped back allowing us to bond in that way. We recently celebrated our 50th anniversary bringing the love and trust forward from that important moment. I wish she were still alive to tell her what it has meant to our and our five children's lives.
