I've always said the greatest compliment I could ever receive is someone telling me what wonderful children I have. Today, I'm having another very proud mama moment.
Please help me congratulate my son, Detective Adam Stephens of the Alcoa Police Department, on earning his Master's Degree!
Adam has never been afraid of hard work. In fact, he is the hardest-working person I know. Whether it's serving his community, providing for his family, continuing his education, or showing up for the people he loves, he gives 100% to everything he does.
He is an outstanding law enforcement officer, a devoted husband, and an incredible father to four and a half children (yes, we're counting that sweet baby Georgia on the way!).
Watching him balance a demanding career, family life, and graduate school has been nothing short of amazing. His determination, perseverance, and commitment to excellence inspire me every day.
Congratulations, Adam! Your family is beyond proud of you and all that you've accomplished. We love you, and this achievement is so well deserved.
