Hey Mom,

When you were dying your last words to me besides I love you were, "Study your ass off". I did that for a couple of years in college and I got my associates degree. A few months later I was called by a recruiter working for one of the largest silicone manufacturing companies. It's now nearly three years since I accepted my last position at that giant silicone manufacturing company. I was just recruited for my dream job at FANG! I've got five more interviews to go and I never would've gotten here without my degree and your last words ringing in my ears. I did it Mom, I studied my ass off.

I love you and I miss you.
