Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful wife, LaNisha ❤️🌹
There are not enough words to truly explain how grateful I am for you. From the very beginning, you always told me, “If nothing else happens between us, we will always be friends.” That statement has stayed with me through every season of life because you have truly been more than my wife… you’ve been my best friend, my peace, my guidance, and one of God’s greatest blessings in my life. 🙏🏽✨
One of the biggest moments that confirmed in my heart that you were truly “the one” came from my grandmother Martha before she passed away. She looked me in my eyes and personally told me, “LaNisha is the right one and you should marry her.” ❤️🥹
My grandmother NEVER said that to me about any woman I had ever dated in my life. Ever. Coming from her, that meant everything to me. She saw your heart, your spirit, your loyalty, and the kind of woman you are before I could even fully explain it myself. That blessing has stayed with me ever since. 🌹🙏🏽
You stepped into my life and helped guide me onto a better path. You believed in me when I needed it most, pushed me toward growth, encouraged me to go back to school, and because of your love, support, patience, and sacrifices, I’ll soon be graduating next year with my Doctorate (Ed.D.) in Sports Leadership. 🎓📚❤️ That accomplishment belongs to both of us.
One thing I will forever appreciate about you is how supportive you have always been with my passion for boxing. 🥊❤️ Whether I was actively competing as a boxer, coaching our son and other young fighters, building young men and women through the sport, or now serving as an Athletic Inspector for the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC), you have always stood beside me and embraced the world that shaped me.
Thank you for coming into my world and never trying to change who I am… only helping me become a better version of myself. 💪🏽👑
Happy Mother’s Day, Queen. 🌷👑 I love you endlessly. ❤️
