Mom’s loving thanks to her son goes viral for all the right reasons
Jelina Sheppard loves her son Karter. In fact, she even feels as though she owes him for her diploma from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. She wrote a lovely message thanking him for all his support and patience on Instagram:
“Dear Karter, For all those nights you had to fall asleep in the library, for all those times you had to watch cartoons alone because I needed to do homework, for the early mornings in daycare because I needed to be in class to being the last one there because I had to work, most importantly for the moments of separation because I needed to get this done, Thank you.
“You are the motivation for my heart to keep beating. I love you more than words can say. I finished because you needed to see me do it. I’m not strong because I want to be, I’m strong because I’m your first example. We’ve seen a lot and overcame a lot more. To infinity and beyond, a mother’s greatest love.”
Sheppard told reporters, “We have a really special relationship.”
“When I’m sick, he takes care of me. When I’m in need of a hug, he’s there with open arms. I never thought I’d have a little boy watching over me, but I’m so happy I do.”
