Before the pandemic hit, my lovely daughter was blogging here on occasion. Several of my long-time followers have asked about her from time to time.
The pandemic hit their little family pretty hard. Both she and her wife lost their jobs. It was tough on them, but they both took the time to better themselves by achieving some hard-fought business certifications.
I will not tell the story in its entirety because I hope Melissa will come back and blog herself in the near future. Suffice it to say she found her dream job and has not stopped working on bettering herself.
Her latest achievement was to go back to college and finish her degree. Not an easy feat while working full-time and managing married life with a toddler in the midst of a pandemic.
I am so proud of her for facing her fears and finishing what she started so many years ago. With age comes wisdom and determination. I love you, my daughter and I am so proud of you.
Check out the article below. I am one proud Mama.
Well done to Melissa, and great to see her looking so happy in the photo.
Best wishes, Pete.
