This is so funny and fits quite well. First, it is quite possible that there is a gator in just about any body of fresh water in Florida and they have even been known to take a dip in swimming pools. Nicole’s current PH specialist is at Shands Hospital in Gainesville which is at the University of Florida. The college has an awesome football and basketball team and their mascot is a gator. I have been a University of Florida Gator fan for years and years. I have gator anything I can find (shirts, blankets, sweatshirts, hats etc.). I also get teased about my passion for the Florida Gators.
I always thought that Nicole would go to the University of Florida. Ever since she was probably six years old or so she wanted to be a veterinarian and they have an awesome veterinary medicine school. She wanted to do this until she was about 14 years old when she decided she wanted to do something in the art field.
It is such a compliment and really very fitting that you guys would call me this.
You are a disruptor. The delivery of health care starts with you, continues because of you, and ends with you. Let's disrupt together to make the world better for family caregivers.

Well, even though I’m a Nebraska Husker football fan, I can respect the Gators.
Go get ‘em, Gator Mom.

It’s possible my partner and I were at Shands when you and Nicole were there — we saw a specialist there back in December. (The main person we see is in Tampa.) Go Gator Mom!

You know another correlation is that the colors for Caregiving.com are blue and orange which are the team colors for the Florida Gators.

Are those your favorite colors or your favorite colors because of the team, Gator Mom?

Hi G-J:
My true favorite colors are yellow (because it is bright and sunny) and purple/perwinkle (the color for PH) but I love blue and orange because they are the team colors.
