“I had my son at 16, Raised him as a single mom, he just graduated from the army, I’m most excited.
I remember the day my world shattered. The father of my child rejected our pregnancy and abandoned me, i was just 16. I was left alone, scared, & unsure of what to do.
But I knew I had to be strong for my baby boy. I worked hard, sacrificed everything, & raised him on my own. There were times when we had nothing, but I never gave up.
Today, I’m overwhelmed with pride & joy. My son is graduating from the army! He’s grown into a strong, kind, & brave young man. I’m happy that i kept my baby ..
I want to tell all single mothers out there: don’t give up, even when things seem impossible. Your children will make you proud, & your sacrifices will be worth it.
Thank you, my son, for making me proud. I love you more than words can say”
