Today we celebrated my first born child leaving home so he can live out his child hood dream of becoming an American Solider. I never thought I would be filled a sense of pride at the same time deal with tears of joy and sadness. There will never be enough words to express the gratitude I have to my Heavenly Father who gave me this wonderful gift of my son, Elijah. To everyone who taught, coached, showed him love, support, guidances, discipline, counseled Elijah in addition to the parenting Nikki, his Step Dad Wes and myself gave him. From the bottom on my heart I thank you. We will forever be grateful to the village of people who helped raise him!! Now we send him off to serve our country so he can help protect our freedoms. Go tackle the world Elijah! God’s got you and You got this ! Love, Dad #purposelyinspiredlife #livinglifewithapurpose https://www.instagram.com/p/B6OABvjpnTz/?igshid=1pfjizykf6kf4
