On December 17, 2019, my husband drove up to  the circle drive of Texas Children’s Hospital, one of the  best children’s hospitals in America, to pick me up. My  co-worker walked me out and gave me a big hug. I was  like a kid in the candy store when I saw my husband  pull up. I jumped in the car with a huge smile on my  face. “Congratulations,” my husband said. That was  supposed to be my last day working a nine to five job.  Who would have thought that I would be retired from  the corporate world at the age of 34? It felt like a dream  that I did not want to wake up from. The thought of  being a stay-at-home mother had always been that, just  a thought.
