Well I'm done. I've finished school. No more classes. No more papers. No more exams. To the people that helped me get through it, I cannot thank you enough. But the real hero of my life is my mom. I know, i know, cliche mothers day post. I would be nothing without her. There is nothing i can do to repay her for all that she has done for me. When i was struggling for money, she would leave work and deposit some in my account, even if she didn't really have it. Most of the time, more than i needed. She has given me enough food to account for a year's worth of groceries. She's cooked and cleaned for me the past 22 years. Sacrificing her life to make ours better. But the one thing that i will never be able to thank her enough for is making me the man that i am. she's taught me how to love, how to live, and how to forgive. She has given me the freedom to do what i want, but still holds me accountable and keeps me on the right track. No mistake I've made is too big. Her grace has given me so many second chances. I am far away from the perfect man. But i know in her eyes...i always will be. And she will always be the perfect mom.
So thanks mom. For everything you've done for me, for always being there, and for loving me unconditionally. Thank you for getting me this far in life. Thank you for making all of the sacrifices you have made. I know I'll never even know about most of them because you made being a mom look so easy. Thank you for the best 22 years I could ask for. I love you. And I'll never stop. I'm so blessed to have you. Your beach house is coming soon. I promise.
Here's an embarrassing picture.
