Moments that change your life

I grew up in an enviroment where I didn't get the most encouraging words or positive feedback. My parents both did their best but didn't realize that the words they sometimes said were harsh.
I was pregnant with my second child and knew I wanted to better my life so I returned to school to finish my high school diploma. I went to school most of my pregnancy determined to accomplish my goal and did so.
When my graduation came neither one of my parents attended, it was a bit shocking and also eye opening that the ones who pushed me to great lenghts didn't make an effort to be there for a important moment in my life. However it made me realize that you can't please everyone but yourself.
Their are moments like these that change you for the better.
nothing goes in Vain. It has it's purpose in life.
