"Inspirational" speaker

2.25.14

    One of the nurses I work with, Sherri, is involved with a local chapter of a service sorority, and she had asked me a few weeks ago about coming to share Kaitlyn's story with her group.
     "We try to have inspirational speakers come and share their stories every other meeting," she told me.
     I laughed at her and told her she was giving me way too much credit, but I agreed to come share Kailtyn's story. At the time, I think I just wanted to be able to share. I like talking about Kaitlyn when I'm in the mood for it, and I love raising awareness and helping others who may have experienced a loss or knows someone who has experienced a loss.
     That was it, I was signed up to speak with her group on March 13 and she confirmed with me this day.

     Later in the day, my company decided to have a mandatory meeting where the VP of the company was going to be in attendance, and it was around the same time as Sherri's gathering. I was stressed out. I didn't want to miss the meeting, but I had already committed and confirmed that I was going to speak at Sherri's group. I decided that I would just have to leave the meeting a few minutes early, and that it would all be okay.
