I don’t usually talk about personal stuff here on Twitter, but I’m gonna share a quick story.
Growing up my family struggled financially. All clothes were hand me downs. The refrigerator was mostly empty. Sometimes no heat in the winter. Even times with no running water.
I still remember sleeping in jackets to stay warm. All of us on the same pull out couch. I remember when it was the floor and not even a couch.
At one point we got evicted from the apartment we lived in and moved to a trailer park. The actual trailer was so small we couldn’t all fit so my parents had to sleep outside in a tent.
I remember waking up in the morning and hearing my mom say how cold she was outside and it hurt me so bad. I cried the whole way to school.
My mom has always put us before her. Every single time. If there wasn’t enough food we’d eat and she wouldn’t. It’s her love and strength that got us by.
Not too long ago my brother and I bought her a 4 bedroom house with a back yard and all that. One of the happiest moments in my lifetime.
I say all that to say... never forget where you come from and what you’ve made it through. More importantly always cherish the people who helped you through the toughest times.
