In addition to wearing the mantle of motherhood, we also set out on a journey to wear a cap for commencement. We toiled long hours to achieve educational advancement, to make better futures for our families, and to be a model of striving for more in the eyes of our children. All of that work should have culminated in a celebration with tons of people surrounding us and taking joy in our success with us. But COVID… Hopefully, you still got your caps and gowns, took a bunch of fun pictures, and found ways to mark this momentous occasion. Whether you did or not, we’d like to help in celebrating Cincinnati & NKY Class of 2020 MOMS! Congrats, grad! You did it, mama!
