      Thank you.
      
      She's had to overcome so many obstacles.
      She drove an hour to school and back for over a year & then went to work at a nursing home after school.
      
      I pray her dreams come true.

      Thank you.
      
      She had to grow up so fast and learn to take care of herself at an early age.
      She lost her mother before she was 2 yrs old & sadly my half brother was not there as often as he should've been.
      She learned to take care of herself and deal with life.
      
      Not much time to just be a child.

      I wish I could capture all those feelings & keep them in a jar for her so she will always know how proud we all are of her.

   She really did work hard, Brenda.  It seems that her life will be devoted to helping others.  One summer when I was not in school, I volunteered in a nursing home.  I hope never to end up in one, but if I do, I hope that there are people like your niece who work there out of love for others.

      Peggy...
      Thank you.
      She's told me she loves working with them but that not all employees there treat them right.
      I think that since she's had a rough upbringing, she will be great with children too.
      
      I'm just so proud of her.  Not many would keep rising back up...but she has done a great job.

      Thank you Linda.
      I have high hopes for her, but I only want her to be happy.
      
      I'm hoping to attend her second Graduation ceremony on Friday night, but I've got plumbing issues.   
      
      Say a prayer that I get to go. Thanks.
