Your story is sweet and reminds me of how my mom, who was derisively tagged and referred to as an 'illiterate' beacuse she had no chance to go to school, traveled to Washington DC to celebrate my PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Howard in 2018," posted another with an image.

"She must be so proud of you! Congratulations to you both," posted a third. "I'm looking forward to seeing my son receiving his doctorate a week tomorrow! He has worked so hard. He actually passed his PhD in April 2020, but with the pandemic this is the earliest they could do it. I'm sure your mum is very proud of you," said a fourth.
