After living with my parents for a few years....okay I will clarify here because my sis would want me to....My sister, with a new baby was trying to put herself through school -'nuff said-
anyway, after living back at home with my parents for a few years, Melissa was able to get her own place this week!
I am very proud of her. Not for what you would think though. I am not proud because she is "finally" getting back to her own place. I am proud of her because she looked at her life and saw what she needed to do -for Brevin's sake- and she did it. I am proud of her because she saw that she needed an education and a profession in life and she made sure that she got it. I am proud of her because well, she is who she is.
She is strong and vibrant. Smart and funny. I have watched her grow, from a broken hearted, pregnant girl into a strong, independent Mother.
Melissa, I know that even as generous and easy going as our parents are, that it was still very hard for you to move back home. I know that every day you struggled with feelings of , and I quote YOU here, "looserdom" but you stuck it out. You stayed there and waited until the time was right because you knew that for Brevin's sake, you should stay. You stayed and stayed when I knew that you were dying inside for you OWN home, your own place in the world. Now you have it. Now you can look around and say "I did this" and you know what? YOU did and that's why I am so proud of you and so happy for you that I could bust right now.
Congratulations Sister.
I love you.
