So i had put off my college for a while because of health issues but also through therapy it was because I realized it was tied to keeping my mom alive. I had some how associated her staying alive as to waiting till i got my college degree.

My mom had been sick since I was 12 and had worse and worse health. I'm 30 and moved to Los Angeles and started to go back to school at community college. I met my fiance and she and I moved to seattle. My mom getting sicker and sicker and being in and out of the hospital because complications from multiple health problems.

But since finding my fiancee I focused my self on school because I knew once i get my Comp Sci and Elec Engineering degree I can make a home for us.

Anyway ... my mom finally passes away with my family back on the east coast on Christmas eve. I was more relieved than anything because of how long she had suffered. It was finally done and she was no longer suffering.

I'm crying now because I just wish i could call my mom and let her know her son finally can say he is almost done with school but not just that I have made Dean's list and have been just accepted into the honors program. I didn't even realize how well i was doing. I was just putting my head down and check boxing off classes making sure i go no less than a B in them from 2 different community colleges to now going to school University.

I wish i could let her see her little boy doing so well in school. Knowing how hard it was with untreated learning disabilities because when I grew up if you got diagnosed with a learning disability for ADHD, Dyslexia, and more that you were put into the special ed track with kids who liked to burn things in their desks.

I'm going to get to graduate with honors with just two more terms left for me and only 20 credits left.

I just want to have my mom hug me and cry and say i know you could do it. But i'm so happy she is at peace at the same time.
