With residency and two fellowships behind us, I organized a small surprise gathering to celebrate Jeff's accomplishments. With little notice, our dearest friends accepted my last minute invitation, most traveling from Illinois to show their support. These friends have been our backbone through each season of life, uplifting us in prayer, providing accountability, encouragement, stability, and love. These friendships, some dating back to junior high, have been the ones who moved us to Madison after medical school, traveled to Cleveland to ensure we weren't lonely, and welcomed us back to Milwaukee with excitement and anticipation. While we gathered in honor of Jeff, I think more than anything, the afternoon was a celebration of friendship.
