watching over me. It was then when I realized he wouldn’t want me to just give up on life. He was in a better place; I needed to be happy that he didn’t have to live a life full of disappointments in this place we call home. I knew I’d see him again someday. I wanted him to be proud of me. I got back into school again. Some mornings it took forever for me to bring myself to get out of bed. The only thing that got me up was his memory. Graduation was one of the most emotional days of my life. I cried tears of joy and pain. I wished he could have been here so I could hug him the minute I walked off the stage. Although, he wasn’t here physically, I felt his presence, and I knew he was proud of his mother. He is my inspiration, my motivation in everything I do in life. I will graduate from college, and I will become something in life. I know this is what he would’ve wanted. Some people would say I should try and let him go, but to be honest, I would be nowhere without him. He was, is, and always will be my guardian angel. With my baby boy by my side, I know there is no dream out of reach. Just his memory is enough for me to push through all the struggles and hardships of life. If I could go through the unthinkable with my precious baby boy, I know I can handle anything.
