Today's the day

My husband has an interview with Southwest Airlines today.  It's an 8 hour interview by three different pilots and is intense.  He has been working towards this ever since he got his pilot's license 17 years ago.  And the day is finally here. 
 
I remember in high school when he decided to get his private pilot's license.  And the first time he flew me in the plane.  And when he moved to Florida for flight school.  And when he got his first job as a commercial airline pilot.  It all seems like just yesterday.
 
17 years is a lot of pressure to cumulate in one day.  I am so proud of him; his determination, discipline, and foresight.  And whether he gets the job or not, I'll still be proud of him.  He is my hero.
