My niece is an amazing kid. Raised by a single mom who was widowed by suicide when my niece was 2. Also had twin brothers so mom wasn't really able to handle much. My sister also has a lot of her own issues.
Tomorrow my niece graduates Rutgers school of engineering number one in her class, and number on in all of Rutgers. She has been invited to a reception at the school presidents house and can bring 2 guests. She is bringing her boyfriend of severl years and her grandmother who has helped pay for a lot of her education. My late father is also an alumnus of the school. He would be so proud.
She already has a job with a company she interned with. She relies on my wifes ( a senior VP/GM with a Warren Buffet owned company) advice a lot, and is headed in a great direction.
This kid is the first child I was around, and showed me how much you can love a child. I wouldn't claim to be a father figure, but I was all she had, and I love her so much. I'm so insanely proud of her.
