Graduations are full of joy and celebration, but they are also full of broken hearts. It is one of those days when you miss the people you love so much it hurts, when imperfect families and dashed dreams weigh so heavily that you begin to think that everyone else is sitting on top of the world but you.

Joyce P.O.V

"There Is Your Class Of 2015!" Mrs.Deed Said. We Threw Our Hats Up And Cheered. I Walked Towards The Back And Hugged Antoine And Sierra.

"We're Proud Of You." Sierra Said.

"Thanks I'm Proud."

"Baby We Made It." Jayceon Said Picking Me Up.

"I Know, I Love You." I Said Kissing Him.

"I Love You To."

"Let's Get A Picture For The Grandkids." Antoine Said Taking Pictures. We All Took Pictures With Our Diploma. We All Left And Headed To My House. When We Got There We All Went To The Living Room.

"So Joyce What College You Attending?" Mrs Scott Asked Me.

"This Might Sound A Lil Disappointed, But I'm Not Going To College Yet I'm Starting A Non Profit Organization For The Homeless."

"That Good I'm Not Mad." Mrs Scott Said. I Had Already Told Antoine And Sierra And They Agree To Help Me Her Started.

"Well Baby There Something I Want Ask You Something." Jayceon Said Getting On One Knee.

No Not Now Please No. I Said In My Head.

"Will You Do The Honor Of Moving In My Brand New Condo With Me?" He Said Opening A Box With A Hello Kitty Key In It.

"Yes." I Said Smiling. He Took The Key Out And Put It Around My Neck.

"Baby I Was About To Put My Foot In Yo Ass Because I Thought You Was About To Ask Her To Marry You." His Mother Said.

"Not Yet Mom I Gotta Sign That Billion Dollar Contract With The Hawks First." He Said Smiling. We All Start Laughing. What A Wonderful Day.

"You're The Best I See Why Jayceon With You. You're Always Happy And Helping Out Other In Really Glad I Met You." She Said Walking Out The Kitchen. I Smile To Myself.

I Don't Why Everybody Keep Telling Me That. I Guess I Am A Kind Hearted Person. I Will Hate To See Somebody Going Through What I Had To Go Through. My Grandmother Always Said Help The Ones That Need Help It Don't Matter What That Person Is Doing Or What That Person Is On Always Help Out Because You Will Always Have A Blessing Coming Your Way If You.

I Missed My Grandmother She Was A Wise Old Women And Always Kept Me Happy. That Probably Why I'm Always Happy. That Lady Was Everything To Me.

"Joyce I'm So Proud Of You I See You Became The Women I Want You To Become. You're Joyce Are A Blessings From The Man Above." I Heard Somebody Whisper In My Ear. I Knew That Voice Oh So Well And I Knew At That Very Moment My Grandmother Will Always Be With Me.

"Food Done!" Everybody Ran In The Kitchen And Start Fixing Their Plates. Jayceon And Serenity Came In And We All Went In The Living Room.

"Please Don't Get No Hot Sauce On The Floor." Jayceon Said.

"Ok What Movie Serenity?" I Asked Turning On Netflix.

"Fat Albert."

"Fat Albert It Is." I Said Turning It On. We All Sat Down Ate And Watched The Movie.

I Looked Around And Smile. What A Wonderful Life I Have Now. I Missed My Loves Ones. I Know They Looking Down At Me Smiling and Proud.
