Probably the most special mail day yet.
1) @Gear @Wifey You guys are absolutely incredible. Thank you for offering your incredible talents to this community at a more than reasonable price.
2) It was my grandmother's life mission that I get a master's degree. She was the only person in my family to ever go to college and believed in me when I didn't even believe in myself. My mother was addicted to drugs and alcohol since she had me at 17 years old. She died at 39, leaving behind 6 children from 4 different men. Each of these men disappeared shortly after their children were born. After she passed, our grandmother was the only family member alive that was older than me. When I graduated high school, she said "that's good honey, one step closer to your master's." She tried to sound calm, but you can't hide pride like that. When I completed my undergrad, she said the same thing... "that's good honey, one step closer to your master's." She had that same sound in her voice. When I was accepted into the graduate program and called to tell her the news, she said the same thing again, but that time was much harder for her to sound calm. Shortly after that phone call, in May 2020, my grandmother passed away. I was set to start grad school in the Fall, already working full-time, and now the new legal guardian of my younger siblings. The last two years have presented challenges I could never dream of. But if there's one thing life has taught me, it's that character and determination are sufficient when experience is not. It was my goal to make sure my siblings knew they were not alone in this world and playing poker was something we all loved from playing with our grandmother. I came to PCF to find better chips and a better table for us to enjoy together. Little did I know, PCF had much more to offer than that. I found great chips, and I found a great table, but I also found an incredible community of people who unknowingly kept my head above water through incredible friendships.
The last time I heard my grandmother's voice was May 18th, 2020, at 10:08 am.
I will walk the stage and receive my master's diploma on May 21, 2022, at 10:00 am.
I've joked for a year now that our love of the BTP design was because we always saw our lives as some kind of a circus. I guess the BTJ twist is a little more accurate. Thank you all for the friendships and kindness you've shown me over the last year. Never take for granted the impact you can have on another person's life through the smallest of gestures. While I wish I could share this moment with my grandmother, I'm so happy I can share it with you guys.
Incredible story, Triston. Truly inspirational. I love to hear stories of perseverance and success instead of the all-too-common victim mentality. Congratulations on an excellent accomplishment. I’m sure your grandma will be looking down with an enormous smile.@Ben8257 post incoming...

Beautiful "Ben Book" brother, although that one is All Tristan! As someone who has lost basically all of my family other than my parents (one of them isn't doing so great either) I just want to say... "she knows and she's damn proud of you!!"@Ben8257 post incoming...
