When doctors said my dad, Michael, could never raise a child because he has Down syndrome 🧩 — they were wrong.

Some things took him longer 📚⏰
But giving up was never an option 💪

He worked at the campus library 📖
Helped me with homework every night 🤍
And raised me with endless patience, pride, and love.

When I was accepted into the same university 🎓
He walked me to class — and cheered the loudest 👏

Today, he sat in the front row at my graduation, prouder than anyone in the room.
This wasn’t just a degree.

It was faith 🙏
Perseverance 💛
And a father’s love that never, ever gave up ✨
