Heartwarming stories ❤️ The little boy crying of happiness for his mom had me crying.

❤ My grandmother recently got her college degree. My mom had a celebration party for her. After my bath me still unclothed I wrapped myself in a pink-and-white quilt that my grandmother made for me when I was just a baby and I went to sit down on the kitchen floor. Sorry I’m weird it’s my very humble way of showing my appreciation for her always having taken care of me. ❤

Working years? on an AA Degree? 2 years?

[@learningearning8385]

Some of us are self paying or literally taking 1 class at a time and working. It can take years.
