Congrats Lil Sis

Today my little sister is graduating from college. I couldn’t be more proud than I am right now. We didn’t have much parental support growing up, and still don’t -But I’m grateful for my aunt stepping in; if not for her I don’t know where we would be. Growing up wasn’t easy, most people wouldn’t survive the things that we’ve seen, but God had his hand on us this whole time. We were the kids that it was OK to laugh at, and whisper about. We were the kids that it was OK to talk down to. We were the kids that weren’t supposed to make it. But every day we prove them wrong, we beat the odds. And when you walk across that stage, just know I’m right there with you. You are proving we can make it. I love you, and I’m proud of the beautiful woman you’ve become! Congratulations!
