All lives matter because everyone is loved and appreciated by someone. My life matters to me more than ever now as a result of my 5-year-old son who I am solely responsible for his upbringing and all-around well-being. I have lived a carefree life as a result of losing both parents at a young age and knowing how that affected me I wouldn’t want such to happen to my son. My dreams and aspirations for a much better quality of life keep me focused and appreciative of life even more.
