Some stories deserve to be told properly and this is one of them.
Today she graduates with her Master’s degree, and if you think this journey was easy, think again. For years she wasn’t just a mum she was a mum to seven children, including two sets of twins, and a full-time carer to her son Maxx, who lives with Level 3 autism.
She didn’t step away from the hard stuff she stepped into it. She persevered through communication barriers, physical aggression, and property damage, patiently teaching Maxx words, understanding, and strategies, and then courageously putting those strategies into real life. She walked every step of the journey with him, never leaving him behind, never separating her babies, never being defeated. Where others saw limits, she saw potential. Where others walked away, she stayed.
Then something powerful happened. You both began new journeys together. Maxx commenced a day program five days a week, and that space gave you the chance to finally follow your dream. Two and a half years later, here you are graduating while Maxx has found his own place to thrive. He has his own tribe, his own space, and he’s growing, learning, and kicking goals right alongside his mum.
This isn’t just a graduation post. It’s proof that resilience wins. That motherhood doesn’t end dreams — it fuels them. That when a mum refuses to be defeated, her children rise with her.
So proud. So deserved. Two journeys. One unstoppable family.
