Dear Mom, I’m writing this with tears and joy in my heart. Today is more than just a celebration of my graduation—it’s a celebration of you, your sacrifices, your strength, and your unwavering love. This degree is a reflection of everything you have poured into me. I couldn’t have made it here without you, and I want the world to know that.
From the moment I was just a baby, life threw challenges at you that would have broken most people. But not you. When Dad walked away while i was 3-months old, leaving you to raise us alone, you didn’t crumble. Instead, you rose above the pain, determined to give me and my siblings the best life you could.”
