Each summer I would hear the window slide open and she would ask me, did you graduate medical school yet? Or sometimes I'd get the question, are you finally a real doctor?
For so many years I would have to tell her, not quite yet, but soon.
After finally graduating, I visited Grandma Ringelstetter and told her the good news. I had to prove it somehow, so I properly adjusted the height of her cane. For all the hard work, she offered me a Hershey Candy Bar.
Six years later, I still have the wrapper of the Hershey Bar from Grandma Ringelstetter...it's framed and hangs on the wall as the first payment I ever received as a physician. I will never forget her.
She will be missed here, but is most certainly enjoying her reunions in heaven.
