As I get my mind together for your graduation party today. I want to take a moment to reflect on my baby boy… even though he is now a grown man he will always be my baby boy. 18 years and 5 months ago I went through the longest 16 hours of my life bringing you into this world but have nothing but the absolute pleasure of watching you grow into the handsome caring young man you are today! You always got my back even when I have tunnel vision. And as you embark on this journey called life I want you to know I will always have your back not because you always have mine but because you my child deserves nothing but protection from this crazy world. Just like I embarrassed you so bad by cheering for you at graduation yesterday just know I’m always going show up and show out for you! To my baby TJ. I pray nothing but love, success, peace and happiness over you! I love you to the moon and back. Go forth and conquer Tavares Steven Rivers Jr.
