Happy 18th Birthday!! Most say where has time gone but I know where! I’ve watched this young lady go thru many stages in life. I’m so proud of her and I love her attitude towards life. She is unapologetically her and she lives to be her most authentic self and that is what we should all do. I’m glad I had a part of introducing her to this crazy world!

I might be showing my age here but who cares! 25 years of hard work and commitment! I’ve met so many people along my journey and I’ve lost some as well 😢 Every once in a while pat your own self on the back for a job well done! I’m thankful for my career, thankful for Truist, thankful to all those I’ve met along the way and thankful for my family because I sometimes missed a lot due to work! #truist #loyalty #workhard #leaveyourmark (at Whiteville, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpAQOFVOC4Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today she ends her “school days”. She worked hard and is early graduating…well early out anyway. She’ll be back in June so her Moma can watch her walk across that stage to get that piece of paper that solidifies her 13 years of pure agony. LOL I’m so proud of her and I’m so excited that I won’t have to hear her moaning and groaning EVERY morning!! Go get ‘em Peyton and do it at your own pace! I love you like you love rock music! #classof2023 #nomoreschool #proud #earlyout (at Whiteville, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnUNAPEuXae/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As I sit and think of Damar Hamlin and his road to recovery I also think about everyone that had a hand in saving this man’s life as well as his occupation. The nurses and doctors make pretty good money for the jobs they do and their jobs are important! The football players make too much but I guess that could be because of us in a way. BUT the EMTs, Paramedics, Police Officers and Firefighters that handle these types of situations daily and are sometimes the first to arrive and the difference between life & death don’t get paid anywhere in the same range. Why? I have no idea. I’m sure there is some bureaucratic response that would be given but I’m still left with my Why?? It is really shameful that someone working as an attorney or construction worker, at a grocery store, department store, bank I can go on but I’ll stop there make more money than these people who are the first on scene and who I would want there to save my life! I can say all of you are appreciated BUT it’s time the world changes and they are paid the salaries they deserve. I’m not sure but I would guess the trainer for that team that helped save his life makes more than first responders because he works for the NFL! I’m so glad he had someone there to help him when he needed it! I’m not taking anything away from him or the miracle he received just made me think even more about our first responders and the mental anguish they endure while also saving lives for little to nothing in pay for the services they give us! #firstresponders #police #firefighter #emt #paramedic #makeitmakesense (at Whiteville, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnF_1IHuFue/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
