This is amazing family. Nothing like having parents that truly love you. Congratulations Stephen!

[@lesliebell3635]

I'm SO glad Dude #2 knew he could call home. And I'm so grateful that Dude #1 knew he and mom need to get there. I am legit sitting here in tears because this is so beautiful when young adults know they have a safe place to run. And even more so when that place is home. Thank you for your transparency.

[@valhooten5424]

Your parents remind me so much of mine. They would drop everything if I needed them. Such wisdom always coming from both of them. My momma is gone now (Nov 2020) and my heart hurts so much over that... but I don't take for granted the fact that I had parents who loved me with everything they had, who created that safe place for me when the world was so scary. So many out there who don't know this love... but thank God for the Father of the Fatherless... He's there for us all.
