AIBU to be so bloody proud today

I have had what can only be described as the worst possible year I've ever had.
I lost my beloved nan, my dad nearly died in hospital after surgery for cancer.
Me and DH lost our house and are homeless with 5 of our 8 children.
But.. today I passed my first year exams. Never ever did I think it would happen. This is for a professional qualification that will change our lives.
For the past year I have worked so bloody hard, getting up at 3am to do coursework then go to work full time plus spend a little time with the kids. Today it is all worth it.
Just wanted to share Smile

Thank you everyone
Feeling a bit emotional tonight so lovely to read all your comments.
I never would have started the course if I knew how this year would pan out but it all happens for a reason I guess so onwards and upwards Wine
