She graduated on Sunday with a Master's degree. Already is settled into a job at a place where she interned....they hired her full-time. Has her own apt, car, and a nice boyfriend.
Niece & her brother had it tough ....lots of family drama and instability when they were young....I used to keep them on weekends a lot when they were babies & toddlers. (I'd like to punch her dad/my brother in the face but since I neither see nor speak to him that's unlikely.) Anyway, she's doing much better than lots of others who had easy childhoods.
