The Cleaning Lady’s Son: A Dream Realized

The Cleaning Lady’s Son: A Dream Realized
Today, my son wore his police uniform for the very first time. He stood tall. My heart swelled, remembering nights I came home smelling of disinfectant , hands raw and cracked from scrubbing floors. Yet, I always found the strength to ask: “Son, have you studied today?”

People often pass me by. They see the vest, the mop , and think that’s all I am. On his graduation invite, my title was simple: “just the cleaning lady.”
But today, with that modest salary and endless sacrifice, I watched my son become a protector. His shining eyes are the proof: My sacrifice was his strength.
Never underestimate the power of a mother’s love and hard work. Our dreams stand taller than any title. We did it.
