So proud of my daughter… and yes I cried 🥹🎓

One of the happiest moments of my life ❤️ Watching your child succeed hits different.

21 years ago I was terrified to become a father… now I’m watching my baby girl graduate college and earn her Bachelor’s Degree in only 3 years 🥹🎓

I had her young. My mother had me young. But my daughter broke the cycle and finished what we started. So proud of the woman she’s becoming ❤️

... Read moreWatching your child graduate college is truly one of life’s most emotional and proud moments. I can completely relate to the mixed feelings of joy and tears that come with seeing your child reach such a milestone, especially when it represents more than just academic success but also breaking generational cycles. It’s powerful to witness how dedication and hard work pave the way for a new chapter not only for your child but also for your family’s future. From my experience, supporting a young adult who completes their degree in an accelerated timeframe takes a village – encouragement, sacrifices, and belief in their potential play huge roles. This kind of achievement shows incredible focus and resilience, reflecting the deep connection of family values and community support. It’s inspiring to see how milestones like these honor past struggles while celebrating present victories. The mention of "Kabier Anibersity of Louisiana" as part of the graduation imagery highlights the pride associated with local or state universities that nurture growth and success. For many parents like us, these institutions provide not only education but empowerment, especially when children are the first in their families to graduate. I also want to emphasize the importance of expressing these moments openly, sharing the pride and even the tears, because it connects us all as parents and family members. Whether it’s your first child or one who’s helped break cycles, these are the memories that last a lifetime and fuel hope for generations to come. Cherish every tear and smile on graduation day – they’re proof of love, struggle, and triumph.

TODAY I CRIED AT THE GYM
Today I cried at the gym, wiped my face, then went and lifted 💪🏾. Everyone thinks healing is this linear, fairytale, perfect journey and I am here to tell you it is NOT! I still cry, I still get scared, I still second guess myself, I still get lonely. But you know what I’ve stopped doing? Hiding it
